A Distant Soil: Immigrant Song Cover

This was the original drawing for the first edition of the A Distant Soil graphic novel. It was originally published in color and has long been out of print. I also heavily altered the original drawing.

I’m sure most readers never heard of A Distant Soil: Immigrant Song. Back in the day, graphic novels were often really short: maybe only 60 pages, so this GN only covered the first 60 pages of the A Distant Soil saga.

The new edition (now entitled The Gathering) covers 240 pages.

I do kinda miss seeing A Distant Soil in color, but our old publisher ditched the negatives, and frankly, the color was kind of bleh by modern standards. It would cost well over $200,000 to bring the series back into print using computer color!

Anyway, here’s a nice chance for many of you to see a version of this cover you may have missed.
