In addition to the illustrated bio, an upcoming issue of Alter Ego makes the artist the cover story…

The highly anticipated TwoMorrows illustrated bio Don Newton: Drawing With Power, by Jay Willson with Chris Irving, may already be up for preorder, but now it’s joined by a spotlight issue of Alter Ego, also coming in 2027.

Dig this solicitation info:

ALTER EGO #206

It’s a banner FCA [Fawcett Collectors of America] celebration of artist Don Newton’s Captain Marvel/”Shazam!” of the 1970s, featuring a personal perspective by Don’s friend Jay Willson (co-author of TwoMorrows’ new book Don Newton: Drawing With Power)—plus Jim Holden explores “The Secret Origins of the Marvel Comics Group” (and there’s a lot more hidden history than you thought!), with art by Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Joe Maneely, Bill Everett, Carl Burgos, et al.—also, Michael T. Gilbert in Mr. Monster’s Comic Crypt—and more! Cover by Don Newton. Edited by Roy Thomas.
