Wonder Woman Cover

I’m really busy working on the pencils for my third Penguin / DC comics super-hero picture book for kids;
“Wonder Woman – The Story of the Amazon Princess”. It wont be released untill next year but I thought I’d take a break and share the cover design which also depicts the retro illustration style I’ll be using. This was probably the toughest of the all the super-hero books to write because Wonder Woman and the Amazons have a pretty complicated history. The rivalry between the Greek gods Ares and Aphrodite pitted men against women resulting in treachery, seduction, slavery…some provocative stuff.  To be able to encapsulate it all in a simplified and toned down manner for young kids was quite a challenge.
Well, poor me…I have to get back to drawing Amazons. ; )
