At last the secret of the Alice covers can be revealed: they are die-cut so that the outer cover has a window in it which shows part of the larger image of the inner cover. Confused? Have a look at the images below.
Can you spot the deliberate mistake in the third image? Not to worry, the colours are being tweaked as I type. They look really good though don’t they?
From CBR:
“What is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations!”
Following up on the success of The Complete Dracula, and Sherlock Holmes, Dynamite presents The Complete Alice In Wonderland. For the first time ever Lewis Carroll’s classics, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass with “The Wasp in a Wig,” the “lost chapter” (from the Looking-Glass) are adapted into one complete tale. In this All Ages adaptation, writers John Reppion and Leah Moore are joined by Erica Awano for a 4 issue adventure down the
rabbit hole!This full color series features a massive 40 pages of story and art per issue, all under covers by John Cassaday, who supplies a unique die-cut design for the first issue that is sure to enthrall young and old. Moore and Reppion also provide bonus material such as script pages, annotations and samplings of the original text by Lewis Carroll.
This looks fantastic. Dynamite are producing some diverse and surprising titles these days. Looking forward to your work on this. (Just picked up Sherlock Holmes 4.) Hope you’re both well.
@Lew Stringer – thanks Lew! We’re good thanks… all three of us. Baby due in early November (now long now). 🙂
