Today I'd like to recommend Scalped, a new comic series which premieres in January. It's a crime comic set in the "world of gambling, gunfights, G-men, Dawg Soldiers, massacres, meth labs, trashy sex, fry bread, Indian pride -"
Hey! Wait a minute. Did you say Indian pride?
Yep [and thanks for asking].
Scalped comes to us from Vertigo comics [for mature readers] and is written by Jason Aaron with art by R.M. Guera. For a preview of the issue click HERE.
The first cover is by fan favorite Jock and can be seen here. Now is it me or does the face on the Native American look a bit like Sylvester Stallone from this Herb Ritts photo? Want to see them both together? What do you think?
Truth be told, it does look like Jock used a Herb Ritts' photo of Sly for reference, but it may have even been another photo from the same session. I can't lay my fingers on the photo, but here's a digital painting that John Beatty did of it.
It'd be cool if Jock was a Stallone fan... but either way, I'd still recommend Scalped.
