Get Your [Dominic] Fortune

Earlier this month I posted this Howard Chaykin drawing of his Dominic Fortune character.  I also spoke of how much I loved Chaykin’s work on the Dominic Fortune stories.  The drawing was from nearly thirty years ago, about a little known [at least to the masses] comic book character.

Last night as I was looking through the latest issue of Previews I was surprised to read that Howard Chaykin is bringing back Dominic Fortune in a new story that Chaykin is writing, penciling and inking!   That’s the solicitation art above and here’s what they say about the story:

“The depression’s going strong, so when Dominic Fortune is hired to bodyguard Jock Madison, Vaughn Lorillard and P.T. Oakley, three drunk and disorderly Hollywood stars, he jumps at the chance to pick up what looks like a few easy bucks, and maybe have a few laughs in the bargain. But when the trio of old school hambones and horndogs prove to be a bigger pain than he anticipated — and he accidentally stumbles across a conspiracy headed by mysterious American businessman Malcolm Upshaw and Delatriz Betancourt, the recklessly sexy granddaughter of Confederates who fled Reconstruction for South America — Fortune finds himself in hot water…with the fate of the USA at stake.

It’ll be fun to see what Chaykin has cooked up.  Who knows, maybe if I post some drawings of Cody Starbuck and Monark Starstalker, Chaykin will revisit them as well!
