Lone Wolf and Cub Covers Update

Dark Horse Comics has announced that Bill Sienkiewicz will rework 6 of his original cover illustrations from the First Comics publication of Lone Wolf & Cub for volumes 13-18 of the current Dark Horse Comics graphic novel publication of the manga. Sienkiewicz has reworked his original covers to take advantage of Dark Horse’s formatting for the series.

“I was thrilled with the opportunity to revamp my covers for Dark Horse’s digest-size version of the classic manga series, Lone Wolf and Cub,” Sienkiewicz said. “The production values are absolutely top notch. And in keeping with the integrity and feel of the series, Dark Horse has made judicious and aesthetic use of digital print technology to bring it beautifully intact into the 21st century. Gorgeous.”

“After we published Frank Miller’s 12 classic covers, it was important we follow them up with the work of an artist equally as incredible and talented. We’re very fortunate that Bill has not only given us the honor of using his amazing artwork, but he has made them look better than ever,” said Mike Hansen, Dark Horse’s manga editor.

Lone Wolf and Cub Volume 13 will ship in September.
