Hey comic book collectors, if you love Scud: the Disposable Assassin, then I’ve got good news for you! Scud creator, Rob Schrab has announced that he is currently producing the final chapter of the comic book to be released in a book that includes all of the Scud issues.As you may know, Rob Schrab starting writing and producing the comic in the late 1990s. It ran for only 20 issues before Rob left the property to focus more on his career in television and film. Now only four more issues remain, which include Scud #21 “Return of the Over-Used Muse,” Scud #22 “Challenge of the Over-Used Muse,” Scud #23 “Retaliation of the Over-Used Muse” and Scud #24 “Death of the Over-Used Muse.”
Covers of the remaining four graphic novels covers were supposed to be done by guest artists, including Ashley Wood, Jim Mahfood, David Hartman, and Doug Tennapel, but recently Scrab announced that he will be doing a variant cover for Scud #21 that will only be available at this years’ WonderCon.
The other covers won’t disappoint though with the star-studded cast of artists working on them. Ashley Wood is a well known Austrailan comic book artist who has worked on Metal Gear Solid Comics and Automatic Kafka. Jim Mahfood has done work for Marvel Comics and has his own comic book series Grrrl Scouts. Doug Tennapel is best known for creating Earthworm Jim but has worked as an animator and artist on several projects.
There is no need to check your comics price guide, the 32 page black and white comic Scud #21 will be available this month for $3.50. Remember, the worth of comics with variant covers can sometimes climb to astronomical numbers so if you are a collector, be sure and grab the Rob Schrab cover of Scud #21 at Wondercon at the Image Comics booth (#509).
