Nightjar: Hollow Bones cover by Max Fiumara  

The Nightjar section has a closer look at the cover of Nightjar: Hollow Bones by Antony Johnston and Max Fiumara, cover color by Greg Waller, a June solicited release. Meanwhile, the debut issue of our first Nightjar mini-series is set to hit stores next week -- look for reviews and previews here and elsewhere around the web between now and then.

For now, here's a look at the info for Nightjar: Hollow Bones:

 NIGHTJAR: Hollow Bones #1
Retail Price: $3.99 US
Cover: Max Fiumara
Story: Antony Johnston
Art: Max Fiumara
Readership: Mature Readers
Format: B&W, 40 pages, one shot

This special one shot unfolds the wings of Nightjar! Antony Johnston starts with an all-new text story with new pinup illustrations by series artist Max Fiumara, where we meet magic from this side of the pond, American Birds! Travel back to the birth of the jazz age, as a young girl named Demdyke arrives in New York, seeking to escape her tragic past in a whirlwind of music, drugs, sex and magic. But New York has its own Birds... and they don't take kindly to trespassers! Also included in this super-sized book are the copious design illustrations for the first Nightjar series and characters from artist Fiumara and Johnston's complete script to Nightjar #1.
