Vinyr by Curt Swan

Getting one of my idols, the great Curt Swan, to do a drawing for A DISTANT SOIL was a special treat. I adored Curt, thought he was one of the finest gentlemen I ever met in comics. He was exactly what you hoped the artist of Superman would be: kind, generous, gracious, polite and humble. I cannot say enough good things about Curt Swan. I miss him so much. When he passed away I sat on my back porch and cried so much the cat came running to see what was wrong. If he’d known Curt Swan, he’d have cried, too.

I love how Curt made Vinyr buff: of course, he’s not buff in the comic. But it amuses me. What is more amusing is that Curt didn’t really grok that there weren’t costumes in A DISTANT SOIL, so he put Vinyr in one of Niniri’s outfits. I didn’t notice for ages.

As much as I love it when you buy books direct from me at my book store HERE, remember, you can probably save some serious dough getting them from Amazon. However, when you order from me, you get extras, including signed comics and prints!

    BTW, for the person who complained I have yet to complete 40 issues of this series, actually I’ve drawn 42 issues while also working on about 500 other books. It’s not like I’m slacking. So if you want to read the futures issues as I complete them before print publication, I have a Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/ColleenDoran

    I mean, I could have hired a bunch of hacks to draw my story for me super fast, but I actually care about my work. And getting it right. Thanks. (Half joking, but the book woulda got done faster.)
