Jim Steranko To Write Commentary For Every Image In Red Tide Artists Edition For Dark Horse

Unlike the other books in IDW's Artist Editions line that attempts to reproduce original art boards as closely as possibly, Steranko specifically designed this book himself, working on the interstitial images and layouts throughout the volume. It really is a rather wonderful comic and I managed to geek out with Quentin Tarantino over the editorial notes on the pages that Steranko gleefully ignored…

This project however looks like it will have a far greater impact…
