TITLE: Celcius 233
Following from the (rather spectacular) cover to Cerebus #151, I figure at some point there was a book burning (before things got grand and all the books were thrown into the furnances).
So here's a first look at the early aftermath.
My only suggestions here were: (a) perhaps a wheelbarrow on the lower level, carting books away, and (b) [so easy for me to say] I think it is an early dusk, and we get to see reflected through the windows the flames and smoke. Maybe even a door open on the lower level letting more of that light in. Ahhhh... Ger... good luck with that!
TITLE: MacGuffin
On one side of this alley, we have Jaka and Rick's place, where Cerebus, er, Fred was staying. On the other side of the alley, Pud's bar. And at the entrance, the Guffin.
Eventually, the only thing left standing is the remains of the buildings and the ruins of the offensive Guffin. I wanted a shot of the alley giving a perspective on the entire scene because we only ever really saw snippets. I've got a few ideas on how to give some subtle clues so that it gets signaled that these were, in fact, those two familiar locales. More on that as it happens. I also think an early dusk or late dawn is called for here - long but lit shadows, dark enough to catch the glow of embers and some mega-cool lighting effects on the mountain of faces.

151 was always one of my favourite covers.
