Chip Kidd to design BEFORE WATCHMEN Deluxe Edition covers

 

The most talked about prequel miniseries in the comic industry are about to be collected in 4 deluxe hardcover editions. Wrapped in covers designed by Chip Kidd, award winning book jacket designer (Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park, Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho and much much more) and writer (Batman Death By Design, The Cheese Monkeys), they will arrive this summer.

 

Having previously designed a variant cover for BEFORE WATCHMEN: RORSCHACH issue #3, we asked Chip Kidd about what it means to him to design these, destined to be, historic covers. Here’s what he had to say, "To design these covers is both a privilege and an honor. And a challenge!,” said Kidd. “The 'Before Watchmen' creative team did a truly impressive job, and I will try to do justice to them. So to speak."

 

Well, we can’t wait to see them and we hope you’re just as excited as we are. So stay tuned for their future reveal.

 

And look for BEFORE WATCHMEN: MINUTEMEN/SILK SPECTRE and BEFORE WATCHMEN: OZYMANDIAS/CRIMSON CORSAIRJune 26th in comic stores and July 2nd everywhere books are sold and BEFORE WATCHMEN: NITE OWL/DR.

Bill Sienkiewicz To Join BEFORE WATCHMEN: NITE OWL Creative Team

 

Following the passing of legendary comics artist Joe Kubert, inker Bill Sienkiewicz will join penciller Andy Kubert to complete the art for BEFORE WATCHMEN: NITE OWL. Sienkiewicz will join the project with issue #3 and will continue as inker through #4, the final issue of the miniseries.

 

Andy Kubert chose Sienkiewicz to take on the inking duties previously performed by his father and this is what Sienkiewicz had to say about the project, "I've known Joe Kubert and his family for more than 30 years, and taught a semester at the Kubert School. Joe's sudden passing was devastating to me. I'd always considered him unstoppable. A master of artistry and discipline. I am proud and honored to have been asked to continue his work on the Nite Owl series, and to be able to collaborate with his son, Andy, again after so many years. I feel a part of a son's touching tribute to his father."
