From issue 3 of The Book of Lost Souls, this is page 19. It’s one of my favorites. It was drawn in pencil and ink with the pencil portions colored to look like chalk drawings. It was a very nice effect, and this is one of my all-time favorite stories as well. Presented here by [...]

I think this will be the last page I will post from the unpublished issue of The Book of Lost Souls. This series was published by Marvel Comics’ Icon line, and the first six issues are available in a graphic novel collection. We planned to go forward with the series, but JMS had so many [...]

More unpublished art from The Book of Lost Souls. Click PREVIOUS for more. Totally loved the dude in panel one, who was based on painter Sandro Kopp. I got a real kick out of the use of the tarot in this story. Used with permission and © J Michael Straczynski.

Another page from the late, lamented Book of Lost Souls. Click PREVIOUS for more info. Was DYING to do more of this storyline with the Tarot Cards. I had briefly discussed doing a BoLS set. Oh, well, can’t win ‘em all. Speaking of can’t win ‘em all, I accidentally saved another file under the original [...]

Click the thumbnails at the bottom of this post for Lost Souls art in the COMICS gallery. [...]

Another page from the unpublished issue of The Book Of Lost Souls. Pen and ink. The spatter effect is an old trick: toothbrush dipped in ink. Flick across the brush with your thumb. Quite messy, but looks great. You’ll spend a month trying to get the goop out of your fingernail. And no, I did [...]

This is the alternate version of page one of The Book of Lost Souls. I can’t quite recall, but this may have been my audition page. JMS didn’t like the way the coat flared in this shot. I ended up redrawing the entire page from scratch (which was completely unnecessary. I don’t know what I [...]
