Gerry Duggan captures the moment in the photography book Timing/Luck

Posted on by

Iconic creator and writer Gerry Duggan is bringing his popular photography book Timing/Luck to comic book shops and bookstores for the first time since he launched a limited edition of the title with a successful Kickstarter campaign. Containing hundreds of photos taken over two decades in writing rooms, green rooms, awards shows, and on city streets around the world, each photo tells a story, and collectively the book tells Duggan’s. The Image Comics trade paperback collection of Duggan’s photography will hit shelves this November. 

With the majority shot on Leica digital 28mm and Fuji X100 35mm, the photos of Timing/Luck capture a mash-up of dark streets, bright minds and green rooms featuring portraits and candid shots of famous comic book creators, comedians, writers, actors, musicians, and filmmakers. Some of the subjects include: Patton Oswalt, Sarah Silverman, Stan Lee, Mark Hamill, Todd McFarlane, Robert Kirkman, Eric Stephenson, Marc Silvestri, James Tynion IV, Brian Posehn, Kevin Feige, Vita Ayala, Jason Aaron, Rick Remender, Matt Fraction, Chip Zdarsky, Jeff Lemire, Tini Howard, Skottie Young, John McCrea, Jock, Leah Williams, Brian K. Vaughn, Christopher Priest, Charles Soule, G. Willow Wilson, Brian Azzarello, and Declan Shalvey, amongst many others.

The trade paperback edition of Timing/Luck, featuring a cover with Duggan’s photography (ISBN: 979-8368809281, Lunar Code 0924IM314) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, November 6 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, November 19.

J. Scott Campbell and Bill Sienkiewicz Witchblade #1 variant covers revealed

Posted on by

Top Cow Productions has revealed the much anticipated J. Scott Campbell (1/50) and Bill Sienkiewicz (1/100) incentive variant covers for Witchblade (2024) #1 by NYT Best-Selling writer Marguerite Bennett and artist Giuseppe Cafaro. Campbell’s and Sienkiewicz’s signature style will join the ranks of other cover artists like Giuseppe Cafaro, DANI, and Brad Simpson, and Witchblade’s original co-creator, Marc Silvestri, the CEO of Top Cow Productions, Inc. and one of the founders of Image Comics. These covers will help kick off this new reimagining which hits comic book stores this July 17, 2024.

In Witchblade #1, New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini’s life was forever fractured by her father’s murder. Cold, cunning, and hellbent on revenge, Sara now stalks a vicious criminal cabal beneath the city, where an ancient power collides and transforms her into something wild, magnificent, and beyond her darkest imaginings.

Scott Campbell’s and Bill Sienkiewicz’s cover embodies Bennett’s and Cafaro’s “sleek, vicious, ferocious” and powerful new Witchblade – making viewers wonder how Sara will use this ancient power or whether she be consumed by it.

Witchblade (2024)  #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, July 17th, for $4.99 for 48 pages. The Final Order Cutoff deadline for comic shop retailers is Monday, June 24th, 2024.
