Superhero Alias Unveiled
I've been waiting years to make this announcement!
Our artistic super-genius friend, Gene Ha, has a new graphic novel coming out August 3rd, "The 49ers," written by Alan Moore. Gene uses photo reference for all of his characters, and he asked me to be the model for "Skywitch." I've modeled for him on several occasions over the last 3 years or so. The book is finally done! I won't pretend to know anything about the story, but from what I've been told, Skywitch fought the Nazis during WWII on her special broomstick and falls in love with a gay pilot ("Jetlad," modeled by Julie's husband, Zander). Also, I fight vampires. What more do you need to know?
TOP TEN: THE FORTY-NINERS
Written by Alan Moore; Art and Cover by Gene Ha
The Eisner Award-winning team that brought you TOP TEN — writer Alan Moore (WATCHMEN, THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN) and artist Gene Ha (TOP TEN) — reunites for an original hardcover graphic novel that delves into the past, revealing the origins of Neopolis and the first officers of Top Ten!
Neopolis is the city of the future, but it's also full of the roughest and toughest heroes and villains the world has ever known. You've met the cast of TOP TEN — Smax, King Peacock, Toybox, Joe Pi and more. Now meet their forebears, who blazed the trail and made Neopolis the city it is today!
Thanks, Gene, for the--er,--enhancements, in this last image. Also, the superhero to my right in this bottom photo is "Hercules," for whom Shad was the model. Hercules didn't really show up in the book, although he is pictured here on the cover.
Obviously, it's been difficult for me to hide my superhero-ness from you all over all these years, so it's somewhat of a relief to get this out in the open. Please, don't ask me to show off any of my special powers in public.
Click here for more info. The 49ers will be available in stores August 3.

I always knew you both were SUPER! Maybe you could make a cape out of phone books? Congrats on being a super model, me
Anna you look hot a super hero!
Does Gene dole out the "enhancements" to everyone, or is it just due to your extra superness that you scored so big?
Of course he doesn't give everyone enhancements. As you can see, he used my body "as is" on the bottom picture.
In fact, I think my pecs are actually a little more defined in real life. Glutes too..whatever glutes are.
Glutes.
Shad, I mean, Hercules, your glutes are not showing in this picture.
I think the enhancements are owing to the fact that this is the cover, or inside cover, page, and they decided to give Skywitch some hoo-has to help sell the book? I don't seem to have any enhancements in the other panels. Anyway, LA, you don't need Gene's help, your pregnant condition seems to be taking care of the situation on its own. ;)
I'm the headless zombie! I'm choking Nichole. Is that last illustration Gene's? It doesn't look right.
Never mind. That's Gene's take on Jack Kirby.
I KNEW you had to be the headless zombie! I'd recognize those incredibly huge biceps ANYWHERE!
Well, I mean if you added a lot of muscle to me I'm the headless zombie. Added some muscle and removed the head. Positionally and shading reference-wise I'm the headless zombie.
