Incognito: Bad Influences #1 Variant Cover

Comic Book Resources have published a preview of the superb variant cover from the first issue of the forthcoming return of Incognito from the creative team of Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips


Incognito: Bad Influences
Last years breakout hit finally returns!
By the award-winning team of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips.
One of the biggest Hollywood options of the year, nominated for three Eisner Awards, Incognito is finally back for more! It's apocalyptic pulp noir at its finest! It's been over a year since Zack Overkill came out of Witness Protection to build a new life. But working for the government isn't that different from being controlled by them, and his new secret identity is becoming more trouble than it's worth. So what will Zack do when tasked with a mission that sends him on a hunt into darkest corners of the super-criminal underworld where he was raised? Also returning with Incognito are the exclusive Pulp magazine essays by Jess Nevins, Professor of pulp history, only available in the single issues of Incognito.
Mature content, No adverts, $3.50


If you're a regular visitor to Escape from Tomorrow you'll know just how much I enjoy Brubaker and Phillips work on both Incognito and Criminal and you'll also know that I tend to buy these titles in trade format. However, with the prospect of covers like this and the return of the single issue 'exclusive' content I think I may have to pick up those single issues.

Incognito: Bad Influences #1 will be in store on Wednesday 6 October 2010.

Incognito Original Artwork and Book

Regular readers will know that I'm a big fan of the Criminal series written by Ed Brubaker with art by Sean Phillips and colours from Val Staples, published by the Marvel Comics' imprint Icon.

I've been reading the books in collected editions and really enjoying the combination of great writing, art and colours. I think I'm up to date now with the Criminal trades so I was looking around at some of the other books from the same creative team and decided to pick-up the first collected edition of Incognito.

The very same day I was looking online for Incognito Sean Phillips announced on his blog that he'd put a few copies of the book up for sale on Amazon and that each copy would include an original character sketch of the buyers choice ... perfect timing!

I asked for a sketch of the character Ava Destruction and couldn't believe what I received - inside the book on the 'title' page was the most amazing sketch - I don't actually think the word 'sketch' does justice to this great artwork.

I'm very pleased to own this unique book.
