In advance of the release of Eternal Warrior #1 this
September, Valiant is proud to announce that superstar artist Trevor Hairsine
has signed on as the publisher's next exclusive artist!
A veteran of 2000 AD and Judge Dredd Megazine, Hairsine
made his mainstream comics breakthrough in 2002 as the artist of the acclaimed
mini-series Cla$war. Shortly thereafter, Hairsine moved to Marvel, where was
named to the first wave of up-and-coming "Young Guns," alongside Jim
Cheung, Olivier Coipel, David Finch, Adi Granov, and Steve McNiven. From 2003
onward, Hairsine penciled several high-profile titles, including Ultimate Six
with writer Brian Michael Bendis, X-Men: Deadly Genesis with writer Ed
Brubaker, and Ultimate Nightmare with writer Warren Ellis.
Hairsine made his Valiant debut earlier in early 2013,
illustrating the prelude to the best-selling "Planet Death" storyline
in X-O Manowar and, at present, is completing an acclaimed four-issue run
onHarbinger with co-artist Khari Evans. On September 11th, the newly
Valiant-exclusive artist will launch his first ongoing series for Valiant with
New York Times best-selling writer Greg Pak in the pages of Eternal Warrior #1.
"Trevor is one of the premier artists in comics and
with good reason," said Valiant Executive Editor Warren Simons. "His
work is nothing short of stunning, and, at the helm of Eternal Warrior with
Greg Pak, they're readying an absolute monster of a book."
Hitting shops on September 11th, Eternal Warrior #1 is
the first issue of all-new ongoing series featuring Valiant's most feared
immortal, the Eternal Warrior. Across ten millennia and a thousand
battlefields, Gilad Anni-Padda has traversed the darkest, most mysterious
corners of history. But the horror and bloodshed of constant warfare has
finally taken its toll on the man myth calls the Eternal Warrior…and he has
abdicated his duties as the Fist and the Steel of Earth for a quiet life of
seclusion. But when a blood vendetta from the distant past suddenly reappears
in the modern day, he must decide if he will return to the ways of war…for the
child who betrayed him thousands of years ago…
Hairsine joins Eisner Award-winning artist Cary Nord (X-O
Manowar, Conan) and New York Times best-selling writer Joshua Dysart (Harbinger
Wars, Harbinger) as the next addition to Valiant’s roster of exclusive talent.
