"I, the Skybuckle,
promise to improve,
as from tomorrow.

"A likely story,
snotty brat!
"
HAROLD, dragon

"Listen to them.
Children of the night.
What music they make.
"
DRACULA, monster

TOBY SKYBUCKLE©, Adventurer by Mistake - Book I, "The Fall". Btw, guess where the colours for this teaser come from...




I took those shots somewhere between Milano and Torino out in the country, last week. Splendid colours, no?

  13. This looks absolutely wunderbar! Where will we be able to buy the book? best, JP :)

  14. I wonder since you are doing this through Soleil it means Marvel may release a US version? I believe Marvel stills has their deal in place. If not I guess it just means a hefty order to Amazon.fr and i can at least enjoy the pictures.

  15. Jampix, Sharp B., ideed, there is that Marvel deal but I'm not absolutely sure, I admit, but I'll ask the editor...

    Queen, in French and English, certainly...

    Junaid, Bryst :) Thanks!

    Flaviano, big thanks, there is still a lot to be done... :)

    Jon, thank you!!

    Leandro, Toby Skybuckle will be not a children's book, but a mixed bag of an illustrated book and a graphic novel.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Wow! Cannot wait to get this!

    Do you have any other books out? I really need some of your work sitting next to my drawing table.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I'll be sure to look out for your book, be it a children's book or comic.

    Cheers.
