Image Comics has provided Newsarama with a six page preview of artist E.J. Su’s “remastered” art from the July-shipping Tech Jacket: Lost and Found trade paperback. As previously reported, the trade will be 5” x 7” and black and white
"E.J. always wanted this to be a black-and-white book," explained Kirkman in the Image press release. "He grew up reading Manga, and to him comics just ARE black and white. The American in me wanted this series to be color and I had just come off doing an indie book, so I was looking forward to having a good ol' color book. E.J. eventually caved in, as long as I promised that if we did a trade paperback we did it HIS way. The first two issues of the book were previewed in black-and-white format by retailers, and I've heard a few people say they prefer E.J.'s work that way.”
Tech Jacket: Lost & Found will be available for order in the May issue of Previews and will go on sale July 2.
