About the Hunger and the Dusk #1 Cover D Sketch Variant

Hugo- and World Fantasy Award–winning writer G. Willow Wilson (Ms. Marvel, Wonder Woman, Poison Ivy) and all-star artist Chris Wildgoose invite readers to experience love on the brink of extinction in their new ongoing high fantasy tour de force! In a dying world, only humans and orcs remain—mortal enemies battling for territory and political advantage. But when a group of fearsome ancient humanoids known as the Vangol arrive from across the sea, the two struggling civilizations are forced into a fragile alliance to protect what they have built. As a gesture of his commitment to the cause—and to the relief of his bride-to-be, Faran Stoneback—the most powerful orc overlord, Troth Icemane, sends his beloved cousin Tara, a high-ranking young healer, to fight alongside brash human commander Callum Battlechild and his company of warriors. With a crisis looming, the success of this unlikely pair’s partnership and the survival of their peoples will depend on their ability to unlearn a lifetime of antagonistic instincts toward one another…and rise above the sting of heartbreak.No detail was spared for The Hunger and the Dusk, all issues featuring a cardstock cover with a striking matte finish.  The Cliff Chiang RI(100) variant will also feature a spot gloss to finish off the deluxe package. Additionally, every issue of “The Hunger and the Dusk” will feature a variant cover by superstar, best-selling artist Cliff Chiang (Paper Girls, Catwoman: Lonely City) to create a collectible set of 12!
