Here's my cover for GREEN HORNET: PARALLEL LIVES #1 (of5)

It's a 5 issues prelude to the upcoming movie (only I had to make sure the heroes didn't look like the actors).
I'm working on the fifth cover right now, and it's been a lot of fun.
I tried to give it a mixed flavor of the 70's kung fu madness, and of the classic pulp covers.

I'll post each new cover here as soon as it's sollicited.

Here's my cover for GREEN HORNET: PARALLEL LIVES #2 (of5)
The 5 covers I did are using the same layout concept with the red shadows.
For this one I wanted to give it a "pulp" cover wile keeping the 70's flavor. Hope I made it.
It was a fun series of covers to work on.
I'll post the 3 other covers as they are solicited.

HI

Is a big shadow not essential for a great pulp cover ?

Hi Paul !
Really great pictures ! Very Happy

Reminds me all the flavor of a past time...and a bit of Steranko's composition. Take it as a compliment, Paul.
You 're unique anyway and these are proofs you grow better and better year after year.
Best.

Most of the times as a fan you are very happy with an incentive cover.
My comic shop/dealer good old Guido got me an incentive of your issue 2 cover. Boy, I really preferred the original cover, that negative gimmick thing with blue all over the cover did not do the trick for me!! Evil or Very Mad
