excellent question ferejo. ohhh, i loved that cover!!! scheduling these books can be complicated. sometimes the marketing situation is such that you have to describe the contents for advance publicity and cobbled together a cover before you know precisely what the actual contents and final cover is really going to be. it can be hard and frustrating for me--and the public! sometimes nothing much changes.
the original design for bob powell's terror used art from a lee elias cover that illustrated a bob powell interior story. i thought this might be a good approach especially considering how great elias' art was and the fact that powell didn't do much in the way of horror covers. but a number of horror comics fans wrote me saying they would prefer powell art on the cover. that, and more importantly, when working on a book i often ask myself during the process as i face decisions a question like, "what would bob powell do?" sounds kinda silly but i do this as a good exercise i think. the answer became obvious to me "bob powell would want his own art on the cover!" again, powell didn't do a lot of covers or splash pages that i thought worked. which is when i hit on the (good? bad?) idea of modeling the cover after the first volume in "the chilling archive of horror comics", "dick briefer's frankenstein". with its big horror monster head. i like the idea of the series having a strong design identity and continuity. and putting the powell and briefer book next to each other with their big heads--it's very cool i think.
but now you're gonna laugh at me...i am already "planning" on violating my own "rule" with the next volume as a "special" volume and cover popped in my head for volume 3. hey, i drive myself nuts sometimes. too! as soon as i can talk about volume 3 i'll come back to you guys and try and announxce it here first cause i like this group and the new pals i'm finding here.
