While going through some old sketchbooks I found the original designs for the French edition of The Marquis: Intermezzo cover. For the Danse Macabre cover I went through a few different designs before the settling on the final version, but with Intermezzo I got lucky and figured it out with the first sketch. The backcover was pretty close too, but almost matched the english version (lower right). The b/w line work to the French Intermezzo cover can be found here.
For the 2003 Marquis: Intermezzo collection (that reprinted Hell's Courtesan and A Sin of One), I did this drawing of the Marquis and the escaping devils of Hell for the backcover~ which became clearer when reversed out and colored (but ended up being covered by a lot of text copy). The stories from "Intermezzo" were reprinted in the new Marquis: Inferno collection, but there wasn't room to include this piece in the sketchbook section.
The first Misere of the Diableries! Storyboard artist, Steven Macleod offers up this amazing and cinematic look at the Misere facing off against the Marquis!
Kevin Mc Namara sent me this cool drawing of the Marquis with pistol and sword at the ready for another weekend Diableries!
In 2001 I did this drawing representing the devil's escaping from Hell to be used as end papers for the first collection of "Danse Macabre", with the printed artwork reversed and the linework toned grey. For the new Marquis: Inferno collection, I wanted to use as much of the existing art as possible and reused it for the title page spread.
I've been a fan of Nathan Fox for awhile, his art is full of life and it was a thrill to see his energetic brushwork on this drawing of a sure footed Marquis dealing with some rooftop devils!
Dark Horse added a Marquis jigsaw puzzle to the games section of their website~ you can vary the number of pieces for more of a challenge, or time yourself with eternal damnation of your soul on the line!!
When I got back in contact with Javier Montes who colored the cover for the French volume of The Marquis and the Midwife~ he also sent me a few files I had lost that showed some of the process to the finished cover. 
Rounding out another weekends Diableries is this cool drawing of the Marquis fending off the approaching tentacles of Hell by Gary Deocampo ( and it's also his birthday today~ cheers Gary!)
The weekend Diableries starts off with this cool drawing of the Marquis by the talented Graeme Reid~ you can see the pencilled version of his pinup on his site too!
Back in 2006 when I did the advance cover for the French Marquis and the Midwife for Les Humanoïdes Associés, they had the image fully colored. I wanted this to be the "white" cover to set it off from the other French Marquis tomes (Danse Macabre was the black cover and Intermezzo was the red one)~ and the colorist did a wonderful job of giving it a hazy winter feel too.
Next up on the weekend Diableries is this cool drawing by Pablo Díaz Mencía of the Marquis framed within something devilish!
The amazing Jeremy Bastian (Cursed Pirate Girl) did a couple incredibly detailed Marquis drawings for me awhile back~ I wish I had his eyesight and steady brush hand! Here's the first one he drew of the Marquis fighting a murderous devil!
