Orcs in Space #4 Covers — Including a Lovely Painted Variant by Heidi Black

The fourth issue of Orcs in Space will be hitting stores in September, and this issue wraps up the first arc of the series with a bang (literally)!

I had a lot of fun with my cover for this issue, and did something really different from the previous episodes: A close-up portrait of a blood-spattered Gor saying his catchphrase “Are you ready for some MAYHEM?!”

I like how this cover feels totally different than all the covers that have come before it in the series, and the fact that it shows off a kind of detailed style that in general isn’t what I am doing in the pages of Orcs in Space… The size of this images means you get to really appreciate Gor, warts and all (again, literally). This is my riff of one of those classic “I’m a badass” covers like the very first issue of the Wolverine limited series.

For something completely different, we also have this awesome variant cover by Heidi Black, featuring Mongtar cavorting with D.O.N.A. in the arboretum!

I love this, the colors are so lovely, so many awesome details (you can even see the sentient Flower Dude in the back there!), and the scene is so sweet… I like to think this is the kind of wholesome antics the orcs (especially Mongtar) get up to when they aren’t eviscerating Space Rats! If you don’t know Heidi’s work you can check out much more on their Instagram and website!

Both these covers are now available to preorder from your local comic book shop, just show them the info below and they will set you up!
