The Face of the Ghost Brigades
Posted on June 3, 2007 Posted by John Scalzi
This fellow purports to be the face you see on the cover of the Subterranean Press limited edition version of The Ghost Brigades; apparently he knows Vincent Chong, the artist, and Chong used his likeness. If true (and I don’t particularly have reason to doubt him), I think this is pretty neat; I was wondering who the model might have been. Personally I think it looked like actor Neal McDonough, and thus might have been based a bit on him, but this works for me, too (I also think it’s looks a bit like my childhood friend Tom Zimmer, but that’s clearly just me). And given who the likeness is supposed to be, it makes this picture strangely poignant.
