Comic book legend Rob Liefeld and Image Comics have teamed up to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of <\/span>Prophet<\/em>\u00a0with an a remastered version of\u00a0<\/span>Prophet #1<\/em>\u00a0drawn by an all-star roster of comic book talent from past and present. Image is pleased to reveal an extended preview from this exciting upcoming release.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

John Prophet first debuted in July 1992 in the pages of\u00a0Youngblood #2<\/em>, written and drawn by Rob Liefeld. The character became an instant hit with audiences and created a demand that he star in his own showcase series featuring art by Dan Panosian from stories and layouts by Liefeld.<\/p>\n

Prophet Remastered #1<\/em>\u00a0features art by Philip Tan, Kenneth Roccafort, Clay Mann, Viktor Bogdonavic, V. Ken Marion, Marat Mychaels, Dan Fraga, Karl Altstaetter, Dan Panosian, Cory Hamscher, Thomas Hedglen, Tom Scioli, Jim Rugg, Ed Piskor, Robert Willis, Raymond Leonard, Ale Garza, Ryan Kincaid, and the legendary Liefeld himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever I set out to create any project, I have great expectations and I work super-hard to make sure that those expectations are met,” said Liefeld. “With\u00a0Prophet Remastered #1<\/em>\u00a0expectations were exceeded 100 times over! In order to bring some fresh excitement to\u00a0Prophet<\/em>, I reached out to a wide field of talented artists, many I didn\u2019t know and had never worked with, all of whom, turns out, were humongous\u00a0Prophet<\/em>\u00a0fans! Every single artist that contributed turned in work that went above and beyond! Several of them told me how excited that they were re-creating pages for a comic book that meant so much to them in their youth! It soared way past my wildest dreams! This comic is a beautiful tribute to the\u00a0Prophet<\/em>\u00a0pantheon of comics! Fans are in for a real treat with this\u00a0Remastered\u00a0<\/em>edition!\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric Stephenson, Publisher at Image Comics, added: “I was just beginning my comics career when\u00a0Prophet<\/em>\u00a0first appeared in\u00a0Youngblood #2<\/em>, and it was exciting to watch Rob develop the character for the series he later launched with Dan Panosian. Rob\u2019s layouts for\u00a0Prophet #1<\/em>\u00a0were fantastic, and just as it was interesting to see Dan\u2019s interpretation of them back then, it\u2019s awesome to see how other artists bring them to life a second time around!”<\/p>\n

In October 2021 it was announced that Jake Gyllenhaal will play John Prophet in a movie version of\u00a0Prophet<\/em>\u00a0with Sam Hargrave directing and a script from Marc Guggenheim. Liefeld will serve as Executive Producer with Jeff Robinov of Studio 8.<\/p>\n

Prophet #1 Remastered<\/em>\u00a0(Diamond Code\u00a0MAY220066<\/a>) will be available at\u00a0comic book shops<\/a>\u00a0on Wednesday, July 20.<\/p>\n

Prophet #1 Remastered<\/em>\u00a0will also be available for purchase across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
