Drawing Blood #7 (of 12) — Kevin Eastman Cover | Image Comics (2025)

Drawing Blood #7 (of 12) from Image Comics continues the darkly humorous, semi-autobiographical comic-book drama created by Kevin Eastman and David Avallone.

This issue follows Shane “Books” Bookman as he flees the insanity of Hollywood and returns to his hometown in Maine. His return forces him to confront the people, memories, failures, and painful experiences he left behind while questioning where he truly belongs.

The striking Cover A by Kevin Eastman presents Books sitting cross-legged with an open sketchbook or comic portfolio in his lap. Surrounded by drawings, comic-book ideas, memories, and visual references, the cover captures the creative struggles and personal history at the heart of Drawing Blood. The distinctive yellow notebook-style background and expressive artwork give the cover a raw, hand-drawn artistic identity.

Drawing Blood #7 is an excellent collectible for fans of Kevin Eastman, independent comics, creator-owned stories, comic-book culture, dark comedy, and behind-the-scenes stories about the life of a cartoonist.
