Simon Roy and Richard Ballermann

llustrator Simon Roy and Colorist Richard Ballermann join the ranks of ACAD alumni who have recently illustrated comic books for Image Comics. This time around current ACAD student Simon Roy is spinning out a surreal pulp sci-fi title called Prophet. This is a reboot of a comic book series created by Rob Liefeld in the 1990's. The new series, written by Brandon Graham, is on new-stands now. An excellent start for these soon to be grads, Simon is graduating from the Illustration program and Richard from the Design program.


Prophet has been justifiably well received and you can read some review at these links:
