DC Comics has announced the fall release of The Judas Coin, a 94-page original graphic novel set in the DC Universe written and drawn by the legendary Walter Simonson.  The Judas Coin narrative is composed of six distinct but related stories and this structure is reflected in Simonson’s cover design, which DC unveiled today.

Simonson explained to DC’s The Source: “The cover for The Judas Coin was designed and drawn with inspiration provided in part by movie posters from the ‘60s and ‘70s.  In particular, I was thinking of the posters of Bob Peak, who did such beautiful work back then with montage.  Peak was a master at creating a strong central image and surrounding it with smaller, often fairly loose images derived from various scenes in the movie.”
