New Frontier Bonus Material

There's a wealth of extra material around that Darwyn Cooke drew and talked about in interviews. One long interview with many unique pictures runs here courtesy of Comic Book Resources.


From that interview comes this great pose of Ace and June.


Another goody is the cover of DC: The New Frontier Trade Paperback. The wraparound covers show a parade of proud heroes. On Volume 1, Ace represents the Challs, so cool in baggy pants and keen sun goggles. For Volume 2, we see June (between Green Lantern's legs) propping up the Manhunter from Mars, who's still woozy from a psychic attack. The covers are supposed to represent the dawn of a new era, then the end of a long scary day, I guess.


Here's a detail of the painted covers spotlighting Ace and June.

Darwyn Cooke discusses NEW FRONTER at Comic Books Resource.

This unused drawing - the Challengers battling Ultivac (Showcase 7) - surfaced on the Internet.

Look at the action! Is Darwyn Cooke the spiritual son of Jack Kirby or what?

And lastly, this. On the DC Comics message boards for New Frontier, the master himself posted this message on his list of "thank yous":
