International Girl of Mystery

Yuki7 is Kevin Dart's super cool 60's Japanese spy girl. Needless to say I flipped out when he asked me to do my version of her for his up coming book. Kevin is very influenced by 60's spy movie posters so I tried to think of something from the same genre and era but from a totally different direction. I also thought Yuki would make a great comic the first time I even saw her. So it seemed immediately natural to do a Jim Steranko take on the character. It was a blast, I'd have a lot of fun if I got to do a whole comic like this.

Boy, It felt really good to ink a page again. It's been awhile.

    Bill,
    This is fantastic. I love the whole vibe of it; who doesn't love Steranko. It'd make a great wallpaper....

    I love it! It reminds me of the work of Yves Chaland. Did you ink it using a brush?

    Great job Bill. Don't you agree that it's an outright crime that there's no collection of Steranko's work available like there are for Eisner, Kirby, and Ditko?

    Whoa! For a second I thought this was Luca Tieri's stuff being graphic and abstracted. Kudos and pardon my double take! It's great, Mr. Presing!
