The Interior Artwork

One regret I had from the first Titan book is that there are only 3 illustrated pages in the entire book. Unfortunately, due to the last minute switch of artists and cost that was all I could do at the time. I do hope to have at least 6 pages for "City Under Siege". With the nature of the Titan universe I always intended to have art be one of the focal points of the series. That was one of the big factors in me deciding to independent, publishers were extremely unlikely to allow a first time writer to have the added cost of interior artwork. I had always gone back and forth as to how the interior art should be. At one point I wanted to have each chapter with its own cover page. I also contemplated just dropping in numerous character sketches within the pages. I wanted a full illustrated novel feel to the series. So, the interior artwork may evolve with the course of the series.When many people see the cover of "The Midnight Hour" the grab it quickly flip through it and then say, "Oh, this isn't a graphic novel." That used to upset me, but know I look forward to those comments. The intention, after all, was to pay homage to those comic book superheroes that I grew up with and love to this day. I wanted it to feel like a monthly comic book series, so I guess mission accomplished!
