Doran's Good Omens Art at SDCC Museum
/Collen Doran Illustrates Neil Gaiman will be opening at the San Diego Comic Con Museum on Oct 4 (through March 2024). In addition to a large selection of work from Chivalry, Snow, Glass, Apples, Sandman, Troll Bridge, and Norse Mythology, Doran will be showing new work from her adaption of Good Omens: the Official (and Ineffable) Graphic Novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. In a phenomenal display of fan support, the Good Omens project is now the #1 comics campaign in Kickstarter history, raising over $3 million in less than a month.
Doran is faithfully adapting the original novel. Each page is hand-drawn and digitally colored. The original inked cover drawing was in the exhibit at the Society of Illustrators (NY) from the start, although it was described as a “private commission” because the Kickstarter project had not been announced. In addition to the cover drawing, we will be showing the color version of the cover, and pages 1 and 3, both set in the Garden of Eden.
