Gordon Purcell's Infestation sketch covers

[mmtz]

One of the retailer incentive comics produced for IDW's Star Trek: Infestation #1 features hand-drawn sketches by Gordon Purcell.



I was curious about the work involved, so I emailed Mr. Purcell and this is what he told me:

I did 400 covers for Trek: Infestation 1--about 200 Kirks, 100 Spocks and 100 McCoys. Some of the Kirks were from the waist up--others were head shots. I think there were more orders than IDW expected because I only had about 10 days to turn these around, so I had a lot of long days. I think they turned out well, so it was worth it. I also inked the second Trek:Infestation cover and drew 4 of the Godzilla incentive covers along the way. I hope to work on more Trek stuff for IDW--feel free to let them know!

So there you have it. 400 zombified Kirks, Spocks and McCoys out looking for Trekkie brains. Watch your back.

I'm not a fan of comic books, but that seems cool.

Two slight things though before you get told off by one of the mods. You're not meant to hotlink to images and did you get his permission to quote Purcell's email message to you on here?
