Jeremy Rathbone returns to Empire's Comics Art Gallery

Just wait until you see the whole thing!
Fresh out of Free Comic Book Day Mini-Con 2015, Jeremy Rathbone returns to Empire's Comics Art Gallery all month long this June 2015.

Saga of the Robovikings 100% funded

Jeremy is currently working on a new comic book, Saga of the Robovikings. In May he successfully funded a Kickstarter campaign to support the project. To learn more about the project and other exciting news, you'll enjoy watching Ben interview Jeremy (below).

New paintings for your enjoyment


Included in this exhibit are new pieces featuring Doctor Who, Robovikings, Sherlock, and Darth Vader, among others.

The only piece from a previous show that we invited back is Jeremy's magnificent Admiral Ackbar painting. We also have fresh new prints of this painting (last time we sold out of them).

Jeremy's works will inhabit Empire's Comics Art Gallery throughout the month. Gallery hours are the same as shop hours. All works are for sale. See price list in the art gallery.
