Conan and his Skull Collection by Rafael Kayanan!

I met Rafael Kayanan at an OrlandoCon.  He had an amazing art portfolio with him.  You could tell this kid was destined for great things.  He was about 15 years old.

Raf became not only an exceptional artist (working for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse and many other companies) but also a Master-level edged weapons expert and instructor in Sayoc Kali.  Raf has choreographed and trained actors for feature films and television.  He has served as set illustrator and story board artist on Broadway and major motion pictures.  In other words, Raf can do it all.

SANCTION by Ray Fawkes, Mark Irwin, Antonio Fuso, Emilio Lecce and Dave Sharpe!

Dan Panosian’s cover for Sanction caught my eye.  So I took a closer look. Here’s the lowdown…

Sanction is by Ray Fawkes (Author, Creator), Mark Irwin (Creator), Antonio Fuso (Illustrator), Emilio Lecce (Colorist) and Dave Sharpe (Letterer).  

To catch a rampaging serial killer in Soviet era Leningrad, two detectives must match wits with the murderer while battling the oppressive rules of their own police force and a greater, hidden enemy.

Leningrad, 1987. When a woman’s corpse is discovered on New Year’s Day, a hungover Detective Pavel Smirnoff hands off the case to his partner, Detective Boris Dimitrovich, hoping he’ll close it without fuss. Instead, Dimitrovich uncovers a connection to an old, unsolved crime, dragging them both into an investigation that puts their careers – and possibly their lives – at risk.
