Presenting the "Silver Angel"

Another cover for The Strain: The Fall has been released.  It is a cover I had been looking forward to doing since I started working on this project.  The Silver Angel is my favorite character from the novels, as an ageing luchador with a touch of dementia, raging against the vampire apocalypse, how could he not be.

Guillermo del Toro & Chuck Hogan's The Strain

Another reason I have been absent from the blog is, a year and a half ago I was hired by Dark Horse Comics to be the regular cover artist for The Strain comic series.  Let me just say right now that I am a huge fan of both Guillermo del Toro and The Strain trilogy of novels.  So when they offered me this job I knew it would be a a strain on my schedule (see what I did there), but I had to take it.  What follows are all the covers I am allowed to show, accompanied by the sketches that are fit to show.  Enjoy,
