Image Comics’ ‘D’Orc’ — Additional Variant Covers For First Three Issues Revealed

by Olly MacNamee

The all-new high-fantasy satire, D’orc, by Writer/artist Brett Bean (I Hate Fairyland, Dungeon Crawler Carl the Crocodile), colourist Jean-François Beaulieu (I Hate Fairyland), and letterer Nate Piekos (Minor Threats) is drumming up interest by revealing additional variant covers for the first three issues of this new ongoing series from Image Comics. These new covers are by Jorge Corona (Transformers), Jason Howard (The Astounding Wolf-Man, Trees), Ryan Ottley (Invincible), Ryan Stegman (Venom, Vanish), Riley Rossmo (The Moon is Following Us), Mirka Andolfo (Sweet Paprika), with more to come.

Speaking of variant covers, Bean stated:

“I am a massive fan of all of these creators and it’s a magical feeling to see their interpretations of the universe and how they see this D’orc. I couldn’t be happier, not only for their talent but who they are as people.”

And for those who may need a recap, since the series was originally announced last year, here’s the synopsis:

“Armed with nothing but a wisecracking enchanted shield and a crippling need for friendship, a lonely orphan stumbles headfirst into Sunderaine’s never-ending war. Light vs. Dark. Elves vs. Orcs. Wizards vs. Common Sense. Dragons vs. Literally Everyone. And caught dead-center? D’orc.

Half dwarf, half orc, and wholly inconvenient to a doomsday prophecy, D’orc’s fated to end the world. Soon, every human, elf, goblin, dwarf, Snargletooth, Necroid, Ice Giant, Trauma Llama, and at least three other unpronounceable magical creatures will know his name. Unfortunately, so will his enemies.”
