Here's a sneek peek at an upcoming cover for Panini's
Marvel Heroes title by fab artist
John Royle.
John's also penciled the upcoming X-Men and Dracula strip from what he tells us is a great script by
Mitchel Scanlon, with inks by
David Roach and "lovely colour" by John Charles.
"I'm just working on a two-issue Spider-Man story for Panini's Spectacular Spider-Man," he tells
downthetubes. "It's a great action adventure featuring Spidey, Dormammu, Doctor Strange, Captain Britain, Spitfire, Union Jack and Megan!"
When not drawing Spider-Man or X-Men, John's also been busy this year for a variety of commercial clients.
A recent job was a one page comic strip ad for
Benylin, commissioned by top ad agency JWT, which is now running in various magazines in the UK such as
Closer and marks another appearance of "Chester the Mucous Monkey" seen in the brand's recent TV ads, brought to CGI life for the small screen by
Leigh Brett.
The page went through several changes at art and lettering stages, but JWT and the client are delighted with the final look, which was deliberately intended to 'homage' classic comic storytelling, right down to the "Editor's note" in the main panel.
