I whipped this up for artist Leandro Fernandez, who is taking on the next long Northlanders story “The Plague Widow” (#21-28). It was far easier to give him this than put it into words.

01.08.09 | Permalink | 9 CommentsWHAT WORK FROM 2008 ARE YOU THE MOST PROUD OF?
Brian Wood: LOCAL. The best thing I’ve done, and hopefully the first of many Ryan Kelly collabs. And the first NORTHLANDERS book, which not only got me out of my comfort zone but did the same for a lot of people who thought [...] -

on Northlanders
10.30.08 | Permalink | 6 CommentsSo, did you know I still get complaints from readers who tell me that the modern dialogue and cuss words in Northlanders is “wrong” somehow? I do, at least one email or blog entry each time an issue ships. But, I have a solution! An old acquaintance Arni Beck, Icelander and product of a thousand years of Viking [...]
