Comic book letterer Todd Klein and illustrator Shawn McManus, who have been working together since their 1985 collaboration on DC Comics’ Omega Men, recently collaborated on a new signed, limited-edition print that also doubles as a board game. GO FREELANCE!, which was written, designed, and lettered by Klein and features ’50s-inspired illustrations by McManus, explores the lives of two budding comics artists, Artie and Scribbler, “as they make their way from childhood to retirement through the challenges, pitfalls, rewards and catastrophes of a creative livelihood” — something many of us can surely empathize with. Click through to get a better look at the playable print.
