WYRMS 04 pg 03 original art by VITOR ISHIMURA

Artist Vitor Ishimura drew this issue of Wyrms, adaptation written by Jake Black based on the novel written by Orson Scott Card, and published by Marvel Comics!

This page, measuring approximately 11" x 17", is illustrated in pencils on standard weight comic art illustration board.

Wyrms, based on the book by Orson Scott Card, takes place on planet Imakulata, far in the future, thousands of years after it was colonized by humans. The natives of the planet have an unusually malleable genetic code. At the time of the story, King Oruc has usurped the throne of the Heptarch from Peace, who allows it because Oruc is the kind of leader the planet needs most at the time. But as years pass, Peace, while serving as Oruc's diplomat and assassin, has passed his knowledge on to his daughter Patience. At thirteen years of age, Patience learns she is supposedly the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy, in which she reclaims the Heptarchy and gives birth to Kristos, who will either save or damn the world.
