Fol'klor Guest Artist Spotlight: DAN PANOSIAN

Spotlight on Variant Cover Guests Artist Dan Panosian
What can I say about Dan Panosian? He’s easily one of my favorite artists and is the definition of the Lethal Comics mantra ”The New Wave of Old School”. Dan manages to capture the essense of classic illustrators from the 60’s and 70’s while still maintaining a modern sensibility that makes his art both nostalgic, and fresh and innovative at the same time. He’s currently working on Canary with Scott Snyder at Best Jackett Press.
The Fol'klor variant covers are extremely limited so make sure you grab yours while you can during this kickstarter campaing. Check out Dan's art without the cover dress, It is brilliant.
This variant cover is available as its own tier, as part of the complete cover set tier OR as an Add-On.
For the serious collector or Super Fan. The complete cover set includes both my covers, and variant covers by Karl Kerschl, Andy Belanger, Tula Lotay, and of course Dan Panosian.
Odin's Source of Wisdom: The Price of Knowledge and Valkyries
In the myths of fearless Vikings, Odin was playing an extremely important role as the father and ruler of the Scandinavian gods, a patron of kings, warriors and scalds, a skillful sorcerer, a deadly dangerous enemy and a very desirable ally. In holding such a high position and wanting to play with magic, one has to know many things, and Odin has indeed always desired to have unlimited knowledge of the nature of the universe, of its past and future. Unlike the giants who first appeared in the world and remembered its origins, and were even aware of what would happen at its end, Odin had to acquire this knowledge only through painful sacrifice.
