Return of the Dapper Men Pinup

I got the pleasure of being asked to contribute a pinup for the highly anticipated all-ages title "Return of the Dapper Men" coming from writer Jim McCann (Hawkeye & Mockingbird) and critically acclaimed and award-winning visual artist Janet Lee. Here it is...


I did a homage to the main Dapper Man #41, here's a little info on what the book is like...



"RETURN OF THE DAPPER MEN (hardcover, full color, 128 pages, 9.5” x 11”, $24.95) is a visually stunning fairy tale that combines steampunk with fantasy and science fiction with Renaissance style. Together, McCann and Lee have created a world where J. M. Barrie, Lewis Carroll and Maurice Sendak meet Jim Henson and Tim Burton—all sharply dressed in a pin-stripe suit and a dapper bowler hat!"

It totally looks like the kind of story I could see Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie, City of Lost Children) turn into a movie. Definitely check it out when it hits stores in November or if you're at the NYCC in October it will be available there.
