Paul Grist, Jack Staff, Ian Churchill & Mike Wieringo

I’m  a fan of Paul Grist’s work. I highly recommend you check out Jack Staff, and Kane is also terrific. The writer-artist Grist is formidable. And underrated.

So I was fascinated to discover that Jack Staff #21, arriving in October 2008 (alongside The Nearly Infamous Zango #4, ahem), would have a cover NOT drawn by Grist. Instead, Ian Churchill has provided the cover art.

Apparently, Churchill will also be teaming up with Grist on a back up story in that issue.

In my zeal to learn more, I discovered this image by Mike Wieringo.

As it turns out, Wieringo was also an admirer of Grist’s work. God bless you, Ringo.
