Joe Quesada Draws Space Ghost For FOC
Joe Quesada will be drawing his first cover for a Dynamite in an age, for Space Ghost #2, following his Batman covers for DC Comics.
Article Summary
- Joe Quesada crafts an iconic cover for Dynamite's Space Ghost #2, his first since Painkiller Jane.
- Both colored and black & white editions of Quesada's cover art will be available for open order.
- Space Ghost #1 soars in sales, ranking 13th in units and 17th in dollars for April.
- David Pepose celebrates Joe Quesada's involvement, adding a legendary touch to the series.
Joe Quesada and Nick Barrucci have always had a bit of a thing going over the years. And now, freed from Marvel's ties, Quesada will be drawing his first cover for a Dynamite Entertainment comic since Painkiller Jane in 2010, for Space Ghost #2, following his Batman covers for DC Comics.
"Dynamite is not only offering retailers and fans an open order FOC cover, but we're also offering fans and retailers a special opportunity by now on this issue offering the black and white edition of this masterful Joe Quesada cover as an open order listing as well alongside the full colored and dressed version. This follows suit as some others in the industry have done such as Todd McFarlane and his Spawn projects. This way both retailers and collectors can have easier access to gorgeous alternate versions of Quesada's incredible artwork. Fans should ask their local retailers to reserve copies for them! Space Ghost has broken multiple records and according to ICV2, Space Ghost #1 was the 13th best-selling title in units in April, and the 17th best-selling title in dollars in April."
"Nobody is more blown away than me that the legendary Joe Quesada has graced us with this sensational cover for Space Ghost," said series writer David Pepose. "From his work on Daredevil to spearheading Marvel Knights, I've been a tremendous fan of Joe for years as both an artist, an editor, and as one of comics' most enthusiastic ambassadors. I truly could not be more excited to have him lend us his extraordinary talents to Space Ghost with this instantly iconic image."
I'd also like to point out that it was the 9th best-selling comic in comic book stores last week, the week before Free Comic Book Day.
