The Secret Inspiration behind the cover of iZombie #19

Tue, 08/02/2011 - 10:00am | DCE Editorial

Superstar artist Mike Allred admired the vintage wallpaper of a bar he was patronizing one night.

Unable to get the wallpaper out of his mind, he hit the drawing board. Mike imagined creepy things coming out of the paper’s repetitive pattern and was inspired to create the cover of iZombie #19. No copy and pasting here, Mike drew every single one of the scrollwork images by hand!

Check out the sketch and final cover below.

Well, in issue 12, on sale this Wednesday, Ellie the Ghost Girl is in the spotlight as secrets are revealed in a series of "Ghost Stories." Lovecraftian creatures from beyond space and time, monster-hunting gunslingers of the Old West and something that still haunts Ellie beyond the grave are brought to life by superstar guest artist Gilbert Hernandez.
