Anyone know where this Ben Templesmith Hellspawn cover is? It was available a while back on CAF, but I balked and it sold. I've tried reaching out to the seller to see if he would put me in touch with the buyer, but no luck.

Finally completed the cover to Image United Interlude! It took just over 2 years from the time I bought it from Ryan Ottley to completion (4+ years if you consider when he actually started the cover). This thing travelled over 38000 km (23600 mi) in the process - needless to say, postage added up. The scans of each step along the way are here: http://cafurl.com?i=20950

Great Fiffe interview by Sean Witzke @ The Factual Opinion... http://www.factualopinion.com/the_factual_opinion/2013/12/fiffe-interview-.html

Tim Callahan of CBR's When Worlds Collide deems Copra to be the best comic of 2013! http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=49880

Holy hell, man, that's sweet.

Oh, and Copra Compendium 3 - 72 pages, collecting issues 7-9 is now available for your mind-blowing pleasure!! As are Compendium 1 & Compendium 2.

Man, I was getting worried we weren't going to see that Gambit cover again. It had been nearly a whole page of posts... I kid, of course. It's a great cover, but please stop with the quoting of quotes that you quoted, or remove the images from the quotes before you quote them. Quote.

COPRA. NUMBER. TWELVE. COPRA #12 is the final chapter in the acclaimed action comic book series written, drawn & colored by Michel Fiffe. After a full year of tumultuous adventure and heartbreak, this issue brings us the last stretch of our gang's bloody, psychedelic saga. Details: COPRA is a 24 page comic in full color printed on cougar opaque stock & limited to a small print run. The first major arc may be over, but COPRA doesn't end here, not by a long shot. Be on the lookout for the next, new chapter early 2014! Preview it here. Buy it here. Read about it here.

Spawn pin-up by Joe Phillips published in Spawn #7. On a related and extremely sad note - I just saw that Joe had to have a foot amputated this week due to complications with diabetes. http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1073684

COPRA #11 is the penultimate chapter in this new action comic book series written, drawn & colored by Michel Fiffe. With the team's outlaw status and multi dimensional adventures coming to a close, this issue brings everything to a close by ushering the latest, final portion of this vicious gauntlet. Read more about it (and see some preview panels) here! Buy it here! I can only assume you missed clicking the above link to buy this comic if you're still reading this post - so here it is again.

I think that he's at around 800 copy print runs now. As far as I know, these are the print runs... #1 - 400 #1 (2nd print) - 400 #2 - 400 #2 (2nd print) - 400 #3 - 600 #4 - 600 #5 - 600 #6 - 600 #7 - 800 #8 - 800 #9 - 800 #10 - 800 Not sure what the print runs on the Compendiums have been, but #1 has gone to a second printing. The print run on Deathzone was 300.

COPRA #10 is here! With the team's multi dimensional mission coming to a close, this issue focuses on sharpshooter Lloyd and his reluctant partner Boomer. Order it here. A few non-spoilery preview images & whatnot here.

COPRA #9 is available! Order it here. Process & preview pages here.

He gradually increased the print run up to 600 as of #6, and it's beyond that now (how much, I don't know). He's stopped numbering the books, though, as of #7. There were also 2nd printings of #1 & 2 at the same print run which both sold out. It really is a fantastic series, and quite unlike anything else out there right now.

Copra got some Bendis lovin' !! http://brianmichaelbendis.tumblr.com/post/59063600606/lets-hear-it-for-michel-fiffes-copra-buy-em#

COPRA is Michel Fiffe's latest foray into self-published comics, following his love letter to the Ostrander era of Suicide Squad - Deathzone!, and his well recieved webcomic / print series Zegas. Michel writes, pencils, inks, letters & colours each page of every book himself. COPRA follows the formula set out in the Suicide Squad books it draws much influence from, but from the first page (heck even the first cover) this title obviously stands on their own. I would highly, highly recommend picking this series up if you get the chance. The printing / paper quality alone is unlike anything you'll ever pick up from a major publisher. Here's a recent blurb from Michel over on the Image Comics boards where he frequents the Erik Larsen section...

You are not alone, Malvin. Great pages!

Two new pieces, one direct from the artist, one from a boardie... Youngblood #10 page 1 - purchased from Liefeld (through Marat Mychaels) on eBay. I've wanted to pick up a Liefeld page for a while, and this one has some classic Liefeld poses and Spawn to boot! http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=952596&GSub=99628 Haunt SDCC Preview cover - many thanks to boardie Kevin Boyd for a smooth transaction!

Spawn: New Blood TPB cover by Brian Haberlin. This piece was also used as a promo image for Spawn, and as the interior cover from issue 166-184 of the main Spawn series. On the reverse is a sketch of Spawn by Todd McFarlane who light-boxed the art and used the sketch to give some pointers to Brian for drawing Spawn in the future. http://cafurl.com?i=18914
