The Marquis cover linework "Hell's Courtesan"

After the amazing guest covers I had on the 5 issue mini-series to "Danse Macabre", I wanted a chance to do a few covers myself and took over with the next 2-part mini-series~ "Hell's Courtesan". Above is the linework drawings I did for issues 1 and 2 that were painted over by Vince Locke (who also lettered the series). The color versions of the final covers (along with the story of Hell's Courtesan) is reprinted in the upcoming Marquis: Inferno!

Craig Rousseau ( The Perhapanauts) traded me pinups awhile back and I got the better end of the deal with his great take on the Marquis in the midst of the devil's clutches!

Le Marquis deux~

For the French edition of The Marquis: Danse Macabre published by Les Humanoïdes Associés, I first went with the idea of doing the cover based on the old proposal art showing the Marquis above the stairs that turn into the devils. Humanoides asked for something that tied into a scene from the actual story, so I reworked it to the finished drawing above. The printed cover was colored by Raúl Treviño and is reprinted in the color cover gallery of the new Marquis: Inferno collection from Dark Horse Comics.

A Marquis promo drawing from 1998~ as I remember this was done for a comic store that asked different artists to illustrate the first letter of their books to make an alphabet used above the store's back issue boxes.

Another great pinup I got years ago ( back in 1999) from artist and inker Bill Reinhold. I always enjoy seeing how different artist interpret the devils along with the Marquis himself!
