Dead Man's Run Gets Tony Parker Cover

Dead Man's Run was announced back in July during Comic-Con. The title is a brand new series written by Greg Pak and illustrated by Tony Parker and will be celebrated throughout the month of November by Aspen Comics.

In addition to the regular series cover for Dead Man's Run #0, Parker will also be providing variant covers for the other Aspen November titles, including Haunted City #3, Fathom #4 and Executive Assistant: Iris #5. For Aspen, this is a special occasion collaborating with Parker for the entire month’s catalogue. Aspen EIC Vince Hernandez elaborates:

“We’ve had the rare privilege of seeing Tony Parker grow and develop as an artist throughout the years and to now be able to work with Tony is a real treat. Peter Steigerwald first introduced me to Tony at a convention many years back, and he’s always kept in touch, showing me what he was working on and what he was going to improve on. I didn’t have work available for him at the time, only tips and pointers, but he was a pro and was determined to get better and better at his craft in the meantime. When he started drawing Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep for Boom, I was thrilled for Tony, and also figured that would be the last opportunity to work with him as his art had risen to a level that I thought was fantastic. But, luckily for us—and Tony being the standup guy he is—he kept in touch and let us know that he was still eager to jump into the Aspen Universe. The rest is history.”

Dead Man's Run #0 debuts in November and recognizes the partnership between the publisher and Valhalla Motion Pictures. It tells the story of the nation's toughest soldier sent into the world’s deadliest maximum-security lockup and the horrifying terror and temptation he uncovers along the way. Dead Man’s Run #0 will feature two covers by series artist Parker and superstar colorist Peter Steigerwald and Micah Gunnell and Steigerwald.
