Jack in the Box is now half finished, which gives me a good (and also daunting) feeling! As I mentioned in the previous post, there's still 60 pages of strip art to complete, but then we're well and truly done.

Martin has just finished the script for book 5, which I read yesterday, and it's bloody brilliant. The story is building to a rather amazing climax, and Martin's writing is getter better with each page. Followers of JITB aren't going to believe what we've got in store for the characters. JITB 1 and 2 were scene-setters, getting all the pieces in place. Issue 3 is the tipping point for two previously background characters, and 4, 5 and 6 will take the reader into totally uncharted waters. I'm so excited to be part of this creative team, and we both can't wait for you to see the finished product!

To that end, I'm starting on bk 4 in the next couple of days, having drawn all (yes ALL) of the remaining JITB covers already. So the covers for 4, 5 and 6 are done, plus the cover for the eventual graphic novel. The latter will also double as the promo A4 poster, for both the entire project and novel (once published) and we'll be selling signed copies of it at conventions.

We've decided to go back to Redlins, our regular printers, for the printing of bk 3 and the poster, and we should be getting delivery of them in the next week. We'll keep you posted as to availabilty of bk 3.

In the meantime, here's a glimpse of all covers so far, plus the new ones which I completed last week:
