Somewhere back in my 2011 journalism archives is an in-depth interview I did with Top Cow’s Nelson Blake II, the artist of The 7th Sword. His line art is immaculately clean and has recently been featured in such titles as Witchblade and The Magdalena. Not only is Blake an artist on the rise, he’s also a fellow metalhead guitarist and all-round good dude. Be sure to check out The 7th Sword when it ships from Darby Pop & IDW Publishing in April.
