May 05 - Elvis, Hero of the Comic Books Covers

In keeping with the age-old comics book tradition, the hardcover edition of Nigel Patterson's upcoming book, 'Elvis Hero of the Comic Books', will have this "white" cover variant, compared to the previously announced "red and black" softcover edition.

Patterson added: After reviewing the proof copy there is a little more work to do finalizing the book, including adding a "For Mature Readers Only" section. More information on the release date and how to order soon. 

Note: I'm proud to see my design on the cover of this new publication.
