COVERS

FOR SOME REASON I ALWAYS LIKED THIS SERIES, REALLY LIKED THE ART STYLE AND THE GOOFY STORYLINE. AND EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FINALLY RELEASED AS A TRADE PAPERBACK, I HAD THE COMIS SO DECIDED TO FINALLY BIND IT. 

THE FRONT COVER IS KIND OF A MISH-MASH OF IMAGES AND THE BACK COVER IS JUST AN IMAGE THAT SEEMED PERFECT... DIDN'T ADD ANY EXTRAS THOUGH.. AND ONE OF THE FUN THINGS ABOUT BINDING COMICS IS THAT YOU GET TO INCLUDE THE LETTERS PAGES AND I WROTE A FAN-LETTER THAT GOT PUBLISHED SO IT'S INCLUDED IN THE BIND 

JUST SOME RANDOM INTERIOR SHOTS

SHADE: The Changing Man

SHADE SPINES

COVERS

THERE WERE SO MANY GREAT COVERS IN THIS SERIES THAT I HAD SUCH A HARD TIME DECIDING WHICH ONES TO USE THAT I FINALLY DECIDED IT WOULD LOOK MUCH COOLER TO GO WITH A PATTERN TAKEN FROM THE FIRST ISSUE. 

MANY OF THE COVERS WERE SO PSYCHEDELIC THAT I FELT IT WOULD BE OVERWHELMING WITH ALL THE COLORS AND DECIDED TO GO IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND DO SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM ANY OF THE OTHER BINDS I'D DONE BEFORE.

ANNUAL #1 STARTS THE FIRST VOLUME BECAUSE IT'S A FLASHBACK ISSUE AND GIVES A GREAT OVERVIEW OF THE SPECTRE'S ENTIRE LIFE HISTORY SO IT'S A PERFECT INTRODUCTION TO THE CHARACTER AND A GREAT WAY TO KICK OFF THE SERIES
