Here’s a short story I did for Maskarado’s 15th anniversary mini-comic. The plot is by Gio Paredes, creator of the patriotic superhero Kalayaan, who is featured in this team-up tale.
This piece was done for Jim Shelley’s Flashback Universe blog, as part of his Lost 100 Pager Super Spectaculars. Here’s the progression from pencils to inks to colors…
This story was supposed to be part of this anthology, but like it says in that particular post, the whole thing didn’t push through. By the time we knew that the project was dead, I had already finished pencilling it and was halfway through the inks.
So here it is now, inked and lettered (and translated to English)…
Story: Nancy Holder; Art: Reno Maniquis; Colors: James Brown; Cover: Paul
Join NY TIMES best-selling author Nancy Holder in this 2-part murder mystery set against the backdrop of ancient Egypt! Domino Lady and Sherlock Holmes team up to solve the riddle of the Sphinx…ok, not really, but they do solve this riddle of passion, identity, and antiquity!
33 pages, color, 7” x 10”, $3.99; Available April 2013
Here’s a recently finished Maskarado painting, done entirely on Photoshop. I might use this as a cover of a trade paperback someday…
