The We Believe in Artists series will be the first of many initiatives throughout a 2018 campaign highlighting the important, lately overlooked components of the comics industry, the publisher said in a statement.
“Simply put, without artists, there would be no comics. The success of the comics industry ultimately hinges on well-told stories, but because comics is by definition a visual medium, artists are integral to that storytelling,” Image Publisher Eric Stephenson said in comments supplied by the company. “Image has always believed in the importance of artists — our company was founded by artists, after all — and we are proud to celebrate the fact that artists of all stripes — from pencilers and inkers to colorists, letterers and graphic designers — continue to make this wonderful medium so vital, vibrant and unique.”
The March covers will run without titles, endorsement quotes, names, logos or jacket copy.
