NEIL GAIMAN’S CHIVALRY and TORI AMOS: LITTLE EARTHQUAKES – 6 Eisner Nominations!

Colleen Doran — Fri, 19 May 2023 16:31:08 +0000

Neil Gaiman’s CHIVALRY, adapted and illustrated by Colleen with letters by Colleen and Todd Klein – and TORI AMOS: LITTLE EARTHQUAKES, an anthology of short story adaptations of the music of Tori Amos featuring works by Colleen, David Mack and others, as well as an alternate cover by Colleen – have both been nominated for the Best Adaptation from Another Medium Eisner Award. Neil Gaiman’s CHIVALRY also scored a lettering nomination for Todd Klein. TORI AMOS: LITTLE EARTHQUAKES was also nominated for Best Anthology, and Best Design with a Short Story nomination for Margaret Atwood and David Mack. Colleen waited 30 years for the chance to adapt CHIVALRY, so this nomination is very special. While all the contenders this year are amazing, the support and votes of our colleagues is most appreciated.

Guardian Live Online with Neil Gaiman and Colleen Doran

Colleen Doran — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 18:58:28 +0000

From the Guardian UK Website: “Award-winning writer and illustrator duo Neil Gaiman and Colleen Doran will introduce their new graphic novel, Chivalry. Chivalry is an adaptation of a short story by Neil Gaiman, in which an elderly widow, Mrs Whitaker, unknowingly buys the Holy Grail in a charity shop – an event that launches her into an epic world of adventure with a handsome young knight who goes by the name of Galaad. In a collaboration that brings to life illustrative styles from the Golden Age, and taking influence from the Illuminated Manuscripts, Chivalry is a charming and witty tale about taking risks, and finding friendship in unlikely places.” Gaiman and Doran have worked together previously on American Gods, The Sandman, Lucifer and the Eisner-winning Snow, Glass, Apples. They will talk to Claire Armitstead about their new work, the art of the graphic novel, and their many collaborations. They will also be answering your questions in this livestreamed event. Running time: 60 minutes This event will be hosted on a third-party live streaming platform. You will receive a link to join the event in the week prior to the event. Yes, you do not need to be in the UK and foreign currencies are accepted. You may also purchase tickets and watch later if you cannot attend the event live. FAQS here. The Financial Times has this advance review of Chivalry. The article also includes previews of the art. “…stunning artwork…Doran’s illustrations, drawing from a soft palette of blues, pinks and greens that flare into sudden glorious bursts of dazzling crimson and gold at need, are what will make Chivalry a perennial Christmas gift.” Chivalry will be in stores in March. Published by Dark Horse Comics. While preorders and print run are high, expect demand to also be very high. WE have had 5 reprints of Snow, Glass, Apples already, so please don’t wait to preorder your copy of Chivalry because due to demand and supply chain issues, reprints will be delayed. Ask for it at all booksellers, comic shops, or order from online retailers.

Chivalry

Colleen Doran — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 02:03:18 +0000

I’m very pleased to announce I’ve been chosen by Neil Gaiman to adapt his iconic fantasy tale CHIVALRY into graphic novel format. The work is painted in watercolor, with colored inks and 18K gold. I’ll also be doing the illuminated manuscript style lettering seen here and in the interiors with other lettering by Todd Klein. Look for it from Dark Horse Comics in September!

Neil Gaiman’s SNOW, GLASS, APPLES Wins 2020 Eisner Award

Colleen Doran — Sun, 26 Jul 2020 00:57:26 +0000

I’m very happy to announce that the adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Snow, Glass, Apples which I was honored to do for our publisher Dark Horse Comics has won the 2020 Eisner for Best Adaptation from Another Medium. I was also nominated for the Eisner for Best Penciler/Inker, but I’m extremely grateful for our Adaptation category win. So many great books and creators received nominations, and we are honored to be among them. You can read more about them here. I’m afraid I’ve had to cut back on my mail order operation due to my workload, but you can buy the book at all major bookstores, or ask for it at your local comic shop. Of course, it is also available at online outlets. From my Patreon page: My most sincere and humble thanks to Neil Gaiman who kindly trusts me with his work; our editor Daniel Chabon; our agent Merilee Heifetz; Dark Horse Comics; my assistant Val Trullinger; my long-suffering family who just sort of listened to me grunt and threw meat under the door while I was working; and all the kind people who voted for us because amazing books were nominated and I am extremely humbled and grateful our book was among them. Thanks to all my patrons on Patreon for helping me out this past year, being so patient while I put A DISTANT SOIL on the back burner, and for being so incredibly kind and supportive of all my work. It doesn’t get done without readers.

Star Wars: Dr Aphra

Colleen Doran — Thu, 15 Aug 2019 14:50:09 +0000

Was thrilled to get to do this painting for Marvel Comics! Star Wars: Dr Aphra! You can get this variant cover from your local comic retailer. Here is the info! Snow Glass Apples by Neil Gaiman with art by me has gone into a second printing. It has sold out through Diamond Distributors, which services comic shops. It will not be in major bookstores until Tuesday, August 20. If you want a first print, be sure to be at your Barnes and Noble, or other mainstream bookstore to get it as soon as possible! I believe the second print will be available in a few weeks. People have asked if I am going to have any for sale in my bookstore here online. That will have to wait for the second printing. I ordered what I thought were enough copies to make it through three shows, and sold out in the first 24 hours of Terrificon! The only copies I have left are reserved for Patrons on my Patreon, and they are already spoken for. If you want to sign up for my Patreon, it’s HERE. If you want to preoder through Amazon, you can do that, but unless you ordered some weeks ago, you will be getting the second printing. Naturally, I strongly encourage you to check your local bookstore first. I will be appearing at DragonCon and New York Comic Con! These will be my last appearances for awhile as I have too much work to do and not enough energy for travel. I will also be appearing on panels and signings and in Artist Alley. Assignments which had been pushed back are back in the game, and I just got a new graphic novel contract as well. Between all that and A Distant Soil, and some juicy commissions, there’s just no wiggle room. I am extremely grateful and happy for all the support and the incredible reception to Snow, Glass, Apples!
