The killer Rebekah Isaacs piece that editors Freddye Lins, Spencer Cushing, and I commissioned for our old boss Sierra Hahn to commemorate her time at Dark Horse. Features characters from Guillermo del Toro’s The Strain, Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Brian Wood’s The Massive—three of the many huge pillars of Sierra’s career at Dark Horse (She worked on a ton of amazing stuff! We narrowed it down to these three which the three of us had each worked with Sierra on). Too cool a piece not to share and I’ll always, happily, take time to say nice things about the best editor in comics and one of the best artists in comics!
Five years, 32 issues. Here's a good chunk of Team Strain, from left to right: Sierra Hahn, Jim Gibbons (me), David Lapham, Guillermo del Toro, and Mike Huddleston. #sdcc2015 #thestrain #darkhorsecomics
Not the actual cover design for The Strain: The Night Eternal #12, but I couldn’t help but ask design to mock up a version with this Beatles quote.
It’s time. Fight or die. The all-new season of The Strain premieres Sunday, July 12 on FX.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! It’s been too long since I’ve updated, so what better day to get back to the ghoulies, ghosties and long leggedy beasties than tonight with a look back at some of the storyboards and concepts I did for Guillermo del Toro’s 2013 Treehouse of Horror XXIV on the Simpsons!
Along with...
WHOA! Guy Davis Simpsons storyboards?!
