Qalyar Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 Adding one to my own thread. Mini-comic, pack-in with S5 action figure King Hiss. No number on the book, but #34 in the the series of these things. There was also a "Snake Attack" book as a pack-in with Rattlor (and maybe Tung Lashor), but especially as drawn on the cover, those characters do not look believably serpentine. In particular, Rattlor looks like an emaciated kobold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 5/10/2022 at 8:23 PM, MR SigS said: It's either a 9x12 or 10x14, so i doubt it's a splash page. I was just looking for Vigil art. All I know is it's Lamia by Marat and Vigil. I'll have to ask. Tim said it was a sketch for a fantasy project of some kind by Glen Paul Hammond. I haven't found anything that fits, so it may be unpublished.

MR SigS Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 It turns out I do have another, and with a Neal Adams sig. Plus, I'll throw in more art (from The Marvel Universe Master Edition). It doesn't look like Puffadder necessarily qualifies, but he does as much as the Cobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm viewing through a prism of someone with very limited info on Indian culture - Indian people may think they are terrible! Good quality products though https://www.google.com/search?q=virgin+media+indian+god+comics&newwindow=1&rlz=1C1SQJL_en-gbAU798AU798&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiDmayu2d33AhVw7HMBHbt1CLEQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1920&bih=937&dpr=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's promising... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s-dali Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I've got a few. I know I have more, but these are the pictures I have handy. If I run across any more, I'll be back to post them. This is one of my favorite cover themes to collect. The last one isn't a lamia or Naga, but I had to include it. Qalyar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I realized Marvel did more than one series of Anita Blake adaptations. Bizarre. I actually liked the first couple of those novels, when I thought the series genre was going to be "urban dark fantasy" instead of "paranormal romance". I can't imagine the crossover market to comic readers was very robust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's... interesting. Kapur obviously has a really solid idea of a story here. The first two issues introduce a LOT of characters in a hurry (8? 10? Thereabouts, depending on how you count), plus a unique divinity, a weird cyclical generational curse, and a cult with complex internal structure. It's a lot, and although he's done really well with other books, Zeb Wells doesn't do a great job with it, I don't think. Also, he wrote "web sight" instead of "website" which the editors really should have caught. The art is by Michael Gaydos. I know he's done some Marvel stuff, but I wasn't real familiar with him. At first I was a little down on his style, which about a lot of shadowing and not a lot of clean lines, but I think it's a reasonable match for the book's tone. I still wish Mukesh Singh, who did the covers, had done the page work, too, but that's hardly an observation unique to this book. I'll probably pick the rest up to read. Either floppies or TPBs, whichever I get a good deal on first. Beige 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastriver400 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 There is Echidna from Greek mythology who is half woman / half snake that fought Wonder Woman a few times (and possibly the Marvel family in Shazam 35?)….. but can’t find her on a cover.
