MAIN'S GREEK MYTHOLOGY #2: MORE ON DIONYSUS VIA NEWSOME

Several posts prior, I shared a couple, sneak-peek illustrations from artist Keith Newsome for my upcoming story, "The Arrangement: A Dionysus Fable," to be included in Main Enterprises' Tales From Greek Mythology #2. For this post, I present two additional examples.

The top illustration depicts a woeful aunt and uncle, some time after the the tale's protagonists have left their farm to pursue Dionysus' favors. This splendid image is followed by a confrontational one, in which three of the leads are featured (plus one guest star), but to convey its particular ramifications would spoil the outcome.  

Nevertheless, all will come clear, since Tales From Greek Mythology #2 will soon be constructed and even include more of Verl Holt Bond's Set Sail!, a Jason & the Argonauts serial-strip, which has gained great praise since #1's advent. Stay tuned.

MAIN'S GREEK MYTHOLOGY#2: KEITH NEWSOME SNEAK PEEK

Above and below are sneak-peek illustrations that Keith Newsome rendered for my Tales From Greek Mythology #2, Dionysus fable. 

As most will recall, Newsome supplied the detailed imagery for my "Medusa Reinvented," featured in #1.

Newsome's artistic abilities are awe-inspiring, and indeed, the visual aspects of #2 are truly taking flight, especially when one considers that Verl Bond's Jason & the Argonauts' Set Sail! is also part of the package.  

More updates to come ...

MAIN'S TALES FROM GREEK MYTHOLOGY: TITANS & HEROES ON THE HORIZON

Main Enterprises' *PPFSZT! #52 has been retitled Tales From Greek Mythology #1.

My story, "Medusa Reinvented," will be part of the contents, along with other towering contributions. This post features three, prime examples from artists Jay Mooers, Steve Shipley and Keith Newsome. 

Indeed, much more is in store; so, keep a lookout for further details.

*PPFSZT! #52: MEDUSA REINVENTED SNEAK PEEK

I've decided to toss caution to the wind and display the entirety of Keith Newsome's illustrations for Main Enterprises' *PPFSZT! #52. Newsome's creations will accompany my story, "Medusa Reinvented." (This Greek-mythology, special-edition issue should reach publication early this year.) 

And so without further ado, here are Newsome's illustrations. 

Above is Orados and Dimitrios, the story's leads, during their opening exchange, discussing a strange object the boy has "unearthed."

The next shot is of Orados studying the strange find, followed by a flashback of Perseus in adventurous "Kraken"-battle mode. This is followed by an eerie but sexy view of the tale's titular "titan." 

Not only will these detailed wonders elevate *PPFSZT! #52, but many more. Stay tuned!
