A Date with Laurence Campbell

Last week I mentioned that my next novel, Expiration Date, would include a dozen pieces of original black and white art. Today I'm proud to share the name of the artist: Laurence Campbell, of Punisher MAX, Moon Knight and Wolverine fame (as well as 2000AD's Judge Dredd, Synnamon and Breathing Space). Until this project, Laurence and I have never worked together; I've just admired (okay, drooled over) his work from afar. My editor Axel Alonso showed me some of Laurence's work early on and I became an instant fan. When Laurence said he'd be willing to work with me on Expiration, I was like a kid at Christmas. When finished art started rolling in, I felt like I'd hit the lottery.

Above is just a sketch of an illustration from Expiration; for the full dose of Laurence Campbell, however, you need to pick up the Punisher MAX arc he did with Gregg Hurwitz (Girls in White Dresses) or check out his online gallery at getcampbell.com.

And keep checking back, because Laurence has graciously offered one of his original pages from Expiration Date to a lucky reader. Details to follow soon...
