Wolfskin website launched

Avatar has launched a site for the upcoming Wolfskin mini-series, by Warren Ellis and Juan Jose Ryp at http://wolfskin.ws. The site includes previews of four covers for issue 1 (the regular, "vicious," painted and wraparound versions; the vicious version is shown below) as well as six pages of preview art.



Intro text from the site: From the time before history began: from the time when the continents were still connected by land: from the harsh climes at the top of the world, a Northish soldier wrapped in a cape of wolfpelts walks south, into the forests of the High Midlands that are now Europe, to find a village cut in two by travellers from the East. Soon, he too is torn - between duty to the lives he has ruined just by finding them, and duty to the hideous murder-god of the Northish wastes and the berserker drugs that are his sacrament...

Wolfskin fuses heroic fantasy in the mode of Conan, the Viking sagas and samurai fiction into a single story of weird history and apocalyptic violence.
