2018 Gem Award Nominee: Licensed TP or HC of the Year

​

Dynamite Entertainment's official, hardcover graphic novel adaptation of Ian Fleming's James Bond: Casino Royale. My cover design, which I wanted to have a 1950's era pulp novel feel with the logo and dress, featured a matte-finish with a high-gloss, fifth color red added to all of the titling elements over the beautiful art of Fay Dalton. The pattern on the end papers were meant to be reminiscent of the backs of playing cards. The interior design elements, combining Dennis Calero's character work with recognizable casino elements, was meant to give readers a similar feeling to the opening credits of the Bond films. The clean, simple style was chosen so that no matter who the artist was on future volumes, my team would be able to create something similar with their design to keep the feel of the series consistent (see: Live and Let Die).
