I'd designed 4 covers (well 4 variations on the same theme) for the Jack in the Box graphic novel. Martin and I couldn't decide which one to go for, so we put it to the vote. We contacted people on our mailing list, and also sent out a general bulletin on ComicSpace.

The voting ended today, and we have a winner. Thanks to everyone involved for taking part.

The winning vote goes to a Mr Steve Burgess, and the winning cover is as follows:The 128 page graphic novel will be available from 3rd October 2009, and will be launching at BICS 2009.

Finally, the 120 page epic that is 'Jack in the Box' is finished! After over 1200 hours of being chained to my Wacom pad, eyes bleeding in front of my glaring monitor day and night (and I loved every second), Martin and I now have our first graphic novel ready to go.

With some exciting things happening behind the scenes, and a lot of promotion still to sort before BICS 2009, these are heady times for C2D4, and we can't wait until 'Jack in the Box' is finally printed as a 128pp graphic and available for you to buy.

I'll be taking some time off drawing any more major projects, and Martin and I will be concentrating on preparing JITB for print, and getting the promotional wheels in motion. There will be lots more news coming in the months leading up to BICS, but in the meantime, here's what all our hard work has amounted to -- in miniature:
