Published on October 2, 2023

A masterwork from a modern master arrives: STUART IMMONEN / EMPRESS original art drops tomorrow, Tuesday, October 3rd, at 9AM PDT/12PM EDT!

Over the past three years, Stuart has made 949 pieces of his original art available through us...and 925 have sold. An astounding 97% sell-through rate! Tomorrow, we will have art from what may very well be Stuart's career-best work: The sci-fi saga, EMPRESS. And this is the last of the pages! There will be no more after tomorrow!

EMPRESS is not only Stuart's first creator-owned work, but also the beginning of his partnership with a key collaborator, writer Mark Millar. For the first time, all the world-building belongs to Stuart. The characters, the tech, the environments...100% Stuart. Combined with his renowned storytelling and layouts, and you have Stuart's STAR WARS.

(Read more about EMPRESS in Stuart's extensive The Comics Journal interview. Note that no less than TCJ gives EMPRESS an all-out rave review!)

For fans of Stuart and EMPRESS, be sure to check out his latest creator-owned comic, GRASS OF PARNASSUS. Available now for free on Webtoons! Reformatted for online reading, it's a whole new experience, even if you've already gotten the book. Fingers crossed, we'll have GoP art down the road!

Set you alarm and click the UPDATES tab at the drop to see all the final EMPRESS pages. Write me for time payment plan approval prior to the drop. Thanks everyone, see you tomorrow!
