Young
Bond fever is about to spread across the
US again as the release of Charlie Higson's fifth novel
nears.
Published on May 18th, 2010, the hardback edition
of "By Royal Command" will
feature a departure from the regular cover artist. Hyperion
failed to agree terms with regular Young Bond artist Kev Walker
and has switched to illustrator
Owen Richardson to create the "By Royal Command" hardback
design. Fans of series continuity can relax though, as the design
style follows
the previous covers very closely.
As first exclusively
revealed by MI6 back in September last year,
the cover features James and Roan in the hallway of Donnerspitze
castle, fleeing from the menacing figure of Dr. Friend who looms
in the background.
About The Artist
Illustrator Owen Richardson will be picking up the reigns. He
studied Illustration at Art Center College of Design. By day,
he is a mild mannered Illustrator. He has worked in the entertainment
industry as a pre-visualization and production artist, as well
as illustrator of promotional and marketing support. By night,
Owen dons the doublet and hose, serving on the artistic staff
of the Children's Theatre of Salt Lake. He writes and directs
plays for children, designs sets, paints them up and then struts
and frets his hour upon the stage.
