Shadowplay (2005) #1: A: Ashley Wood
a cover of issue #1 of Shadowplay (2005) by IDW Publishing
Issue description
This special four-part split-book presents the fantastic art of Ashley Wood and Ben
Templesmith under one cover (one cover from each of ‘em per issue, in fact). In “Demon
Father John’s Pinwhel Blues, Part 1” Amber Benson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Tara)
and Ben craft a tale of a syndicate of vampire street children that is turned upside down
by new recruit Pinwheel. In “Shunt, Part 1” Christina Z and Ash present the tale of the
perfect woman, who gives up the perfect life to uncover a heinous human slavery ring run
by an elite group of vampires. Vampires who transform their beautiful female victims
into the most sensually marketable product. Within the torture and depravity lies a twisted
tale of obsessive passion and furious loyalty. Each issue will feature two covers, one by
Wood and one by Templesmith.
