Here's a preview of my colouring work on Dark Horse's Chronicles of Conan series

Dark Horse Comics have posted preview images of my work on the next installment of their Chronicles of Conan series! I still get a kick out of seeing my name in the credits at the bottom of the first page up alongside such greats as Jim Shooter, Larry Hama and John Buscema!

Work on these books is done pretty far in advance, so by the time these previews are released I've usually completely forgotten what the story was about... I was working on this book in May and June of this year. Six months ago!

Here's a preview of the first three pages of this 200 page book, coloured by yours truly! Click the images for a larger version!
The Chronicles of Conan Volume 20: Night of the Wolf and Other Stories is set to be released on December 1, 2010. You can preorder your copy now!

The Chronicles of Conan Volume 20: Night of the Wolf and Other Stories TPB
Featuring art and story by: Michael Fleisher, John Buscema, Gary Kwapisz, Ernie Chan, Steve Leialoha, Bob Camp, Rudy Nebres
Colours by: Peter Dawes, Wil Glass and Donovan Yaciuk
Conan confronts some of his most difficult challenges yet when he faces down a werewolf who is being protected by the same tribe that it aims to destroy in "Night of the Wolf," and he finds a hidden Cimmerian valley filled with the vestiges of an ancient war in "Vale of Death." The wandering barbarian will also have to keep his wits about him if he is to keep from becoming a statue in a madwoman's collection in "The Cauldron of Doom!"
This volume collects Conan the Barbarian issues #151 -- #159, now with new colors, all of the original series covers, and a foreword by Ernie Chan complete with a brand new pinup!

Currently playing: The Arrows - Fallen Angel
Currently colouring: The Chronicles of Conan Volume 21: Blood of the Titan and Other Stories
Proudly in my fifth Cola free year!

Thanks, Kelly! The Roy Thomas/John Buscema Conan run is one of the greatest epics of all time!
