Marc Silvestri Contributes A Variant Cover For ‘Soldier Stories’ One-Shot From Top Cow
by Olly MacNamee
As previously reported Image Comics/Top Cow will be rolling out a one-shot anthology called Soldier Stories featuring military tales by military personnel themselves such as Brian Anthony (USA), Jalysa Conway (UAF), Megan Ferrell Burke (USMC), and Rev. William J. Bellamy (ARNG).
And, as well as a main cover by renowned Comicgater Bill Tucci, today sees the release of a variant cover image by Marc Silvestri.
Here’s what Ken Pisani (AMP’D), Los Angeles Times Best Selling Author and producer of Soldier Stories had to say:
“Thrilled to see the variant cover by living legend Marc Silvestri! Known for his dynamic action, Marc instead chose a quiet pose in the brief aftermath of battle—a soldier alone with his thoughts, as compelling an image as any firefight.”
And here’s a reminder of the content of this special one-shot:
“Soldier Stories features four compelling tales of military conflict, all written by veterans who served from the Vietnam era to Afghanistan. These first-person accounts of real-life warfare have been reimagined across a variety of genres from sci-fi to horror to personal memoir. What’s it like to wait out a chemical attack? How does it feel to abandon your allies? In a world of push-button warfare, has killing gotten too easy? How do you go on when the war is over but the struggle is not?These are personal stories, compelling stories, stories that will haunt and surprise you. Because every soldier has a story.
- “Terps” by Brian Anthony & John Bivens
- “Game Over” by Jalysa Conway, Annapaola Martello, & K. Michael Russell
- “All Clear” by Megan Ferrell Burke, Arturo Lauria, & Kelly Fitzpatrick
- “The Great Man” by Rev. William J. Bellamy, Cecilia Lo Valvo, & Ryan Cody”
If you’re a fan of this type of comic book story, look out for Soldier Stories one-shot coming Wednesday 9th November from Top Cow.
