Pencils and inks by me :icondavidyardin:. Colours by (I think) Rainier Beredo :iconsummerset: (Rain?), based roughly off my coloured thumbnail.

While I was doing coloured thumbnails on Ms Marvel, at the layout/approval stage, they weren't intended as colour guides, they were more for my own visualisation. Rain would usually come with something different to what I had in mind (but still cool) for the final version.

On this cover we weren't sure if Rain was going to be able to fit us in schedule-wise, so I asked if we could keep the rough colours I had done, since it was based on some colour schemes from some old pulp covers (which is what we were going for), and I had envisioned it with the old style logo, and text as a whole (not sure if the text is still being added to the final version).

In the end it looks like we got Rain (I assume), and my guides were used too (I hope it wasn't too restrictive, or stepping on anyone's toes).

By the way you said that last part it looks like the good'ol web slinger just happened to come across Ms. Marvel being shot?

That's the solicitation info. I haven't read the issue yet, so I don't really know.

GREAT noirish feel! LOVE her hair! Hard to pull that off convincingly.

Thanks. Looks like they nixed the pulpy text I wanted on the final print version though. :(

They're nuts. It was perfect for the image. Shit like that makes me crazy.

This is really classy, the feel of the old detective paperbacks is really there.

I like that it almost needs a double take to notice her suit beneath the street clothes and that she's fallen into the spotlight of the streetlight.

A very atmospheric piece.
