Clover Press is thrilled to launch our newest line of high-end boutique art books with the DC Art of… series, and it all begins with the premier volume, The DC Art of Jorge Jiménez!

Jorge Jiménez burst onto the pages of American comics in 2011 and his talent immediately caught readers’ attention. His dynamic—almost frenetic—linework and manga-inspired designs put him in a category all his own, and he quickly climbed the ranks to headline some of DC Comics’ core series, including Superman, Justice League, and Super Sons, working with the likes of Peter J. Tomasi and Scott Snyder. He’s currently completing his greatest accomplishment yet—a five-year run on the company’s flagship series Batman with superstar writers James Tynion IV and Chip Zdarsky.

Jorge lives in Spain, where, as a child, his parents encouraged his passion for art. But the strictures of formal art education robbed him of his enthusiasm and turned him to other pursuits. It would be nearly ten years before he rediscovered the joy for drawing he’d felt as a child.

But, lucky for all of us, he came back with more passion than ever, and now his career in comics seems to consist of one success after another. Jorge’s brought his unique style to DC’s biggest characters across multiple universes: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Robin, the Joker, Lex Luthor, and more, starting in series like Smallville: Season Eleven, Earth 2, and Arkham Unhinged. For the major titles Super Sons and Batman, he’s co-created and designed new characters Punchline, Failsafe, Ghostmaker, and Crush, among others, while developing iconic new looks for fan-favorites like the Scarecrow, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy.

Nothing is as it seems in this world, and when a familiar visitor finds her way into the madness that is Wonderland, she is followed by something even more horrible than the darkest nightmares that already haunt this place—Zombies!

Forget tea parties and curious cats – this Wonderland is overrun by the undead! Set in the 1900s England, a young Alice is thrust into a nightmare realm where time is fractured, and the laws of reality are broken.

See old acquaintances like the vengeful Queen of Hearts, Cheshire Cat, and Violet and new ones like a gangster egg named King Humpton. Expect high-stakes battles, shocking twists, and a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Inspired by a true story, The Death of Bobby Hart is a neo-noir crime thriller about the murder of pulp writer Bobby Hart, the undisputed king of 1970s “street literature” books such as Pimp Wars and Confessions of a Junkie. With more than a dozen books to his name, Bobby Hart is working on the most recent installment in his popular GHETTO AVENGER series when he and his pregnant wife are brutally gunned down in their home. But who killed Bobby and why? And what do his books–gritty, hard-boiled crime thrillers set in the world of gangsters, dope dealers, pimps, and ghetto vigilantes–have to do with his murder?

Equal parts noir and blaxploitation, The Death of Bobby Hart is an examination of the final weeks in the life of an author overcoming drug addiction, an exploration of the creative process, and a glimpse at the blurred line that separates fact from fiction. Inter-cut throughout the main story are chapters from Bobby Hart’s latest novel, The Ghetto Avenger’s Last Stand. Written by David F. Walker, co-creator of Bitter Root and Naomi, The Death of Bobby Hart is a 96-page book that includes…

• The Death of Bobby Hart – a 68-page, all-new, original graphic novella. Drawn by Dietrich O. Smith. Spot illustrations for The Ghetto Avenger’s Last Stand by Craig Johnson II. Colors by Chris Sotomayor. Main cover is by Caanan White.
• The Making of The Death of Bobby Hart – behind-the-scenes glimpse at this gritty crime thriller.
• Hart of the Matter – the original six-page short comic that evolved into The Death of Bobby Hart.
• Donald Goines: The Life, Career, and Murder of the King of the Black Experience Novel – an essay on the real life inspiration for Bobby Hart.

Below are the first six pages of The Death of Bobby Hart (art by Dietrich O. Smith, colors by Chris Sotomayor),including the first page of The Ghetto Avenger’s Last Stand (art by Craig Johnson II).

Made in Delco is a 60 page comic anthology of 10 stories I’ve written, spanning multiple genres and featuring stories that have been published in incredible anthologies like Bi Visibility and From the Static, as well as stories that have yet to see print. Although these stories have wildly different settings, I think they embody the spirit and attitude of Delco. I was tired of waiting for the right anthology to come along to submit these comics to, so I thought I’d put together my own.

My journey writing comics started with LGBTQ RPG published in the Bi Visibility Anthology by Lifeline Comics. Brought to life by the incredibly talented Beck Kubrick and lettered by the incomparable Taylor Esposito. I’ve heard it said so many times, but it really is true, as a comic writer there’s nothing like the first time you see the art for a story you’ve written.

One rainy day, a young boy named Atticus was stuck inside the house with his grandmother. Nearly bored to tears after maxing out his daily allotted screentime, Atticus builds a pillow fort in the center of the living room. Before he enters the structure, his grandmother hands him a scavenger hunt on a folded piece of paper. She tells young Atticus that he must find all the items on that list before he can return. Atticus accepts the challenge and dives in! Shortly after Atticus crawls inside the pillow fort, he realizes that something is very different!

This campaign is to raise funding to print and deliver the first issue of a 20-page full color traditional comic book called Atticus & The Magical Pillow Fort. It will be printed at a 10.25″ (H) x 6.625″ (W) size with a staple-bound format. Interior pages will be on 60lb uncoated paper. Covers will be made of a 80lb cardstock (gloss or matte depending on the edition). This is an all-ages story suitable for everyone!
