Check out this Marvel Comics first look at "Herc" #1 -- written by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente, with pencils by Neil Edwards and a cover by Filipino artist Carlo Pagulayan -- and then read on for details about this action-filled comic book hitting stands in April!
Artist Jason Paz did the inks
 "Here's the latest Marvel Comics Herc #1, released last April 06, 2011. Artist Carlo Pagulayan drew the cover in pencils, I did the inks and kindly asked him if I could add in some Pinoy Easter Eggs in the background/alley. He said okay. I added 'We Legendary' on the lower right corner of the cover. 'NTPI' on the left side wall and 'Ronac Art Center' slightly above WeL. Waited about a week fingers crossed until the lineart gets through Marvel editorial. Got an approval and then colored and here's the published cover trade dress:"

 Check out the cover! Ronac Art Center is featured there on the bottom right! 
awesome!
