Lansdale and Tim Truman's Dead Folks, David Quinn and Tim Vigil's 777: The Wrath, company owned characters such as Pandora and The Ravening, licensed hits such as Frank Miller's Robocop and Stargate SG1, and long-running anthology title Threshold, among numerous other titles -- including comics for mature readers, and other audiences.

Preview: Jungle Fantasy #2 Sean Shaw interior pages

Jungle Fantasy #2 will be at a retailer near you soon so here's a sneak peak at one of the interior stories by artist Sean Shaw.

Shaw is a detail-oriented linesmith who combines the expressive, Mucha-influenced approach to illustration of the Barry Windsor-Smith and Joe Quesada tradition with the precision-detailed realism of artists like Hal Foster, Mark Schultz, and Brian Bolland. He has worked on a number of high-profile projects for a variety of publishers over the past several years, including Gen 13 Bootleg and Vampirella/Wetworks. At Avatar, he has done a number of covers, and interior stories on issues including Avengelyne: Revelation Prelude, and assorted issues of Threshold.
