(Fans and retailers confused by the renumbering should note The Darkness #75 is actually #11 of the current volume, but the Legacy Numbering will take effect as of this issue. The Legacy Number denotes the total number of issues of The Darkness ever published, regardless of volume. The subsequent issue will be labeled #76, and so forth.)<\/p>\n[minislides]\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The list of artists includes: Michael Broussard (current series artist), Jorge Lucas (Pilot Season: Ripclaw), Dale Keown (Pitt), Joe Benitez (Justice League of America), Ryan Sook (Superman\/Batman), Steve Firchow (Ultimatum), Frazer Irving (Silent War), Lee Carter (2000 AD), Stjepan Sejic (Witchblade) and Matt Timson (Impaler). The story, which will examine what a possible future would be like for current Darkness bearer Jackie Estacado, will be penned by current series writer Phil Hester.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWorking on The Darkness #75 was like visiting an old friend I haven\u2019t seen in a while,\u201d said Joe Benitez, who hasn\u2019t drawn for an issue of The Darkness since 1999. \u201cIt\u2019s always nice to see what they\u2019re up to and how they\u2019ve changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Darkness #75 finds this series and its characters firmly planted in the bedrock of comics history and lays a sure foundation for a future that its fans should be eagerly anticipating,\u201d added Ryan Sook. \u201cIt\u2019s a privilege to contribute pencil and pen to this milestone event!\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI have read The Darkness, I have played The Darkness video game and now I get to draw The Darkness alongside some of the big boys,\u201d attested Lee Carter. \u201cIt\u2019s beyond cool to have my work appear alongside this fantastic lineup of artists to mark this important milestone of The Darkness mythos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWorking on The Darkness #75 has been especially fun for me since I also worked on the very first issue!\u201d beamed Steve Firchow. \u201cIt\u2019s great to see how much story and character has been developed in the last \u2018Decade of The Darkness\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The double-sized issue will feature four different covers, including a wrap-around by Lee Bermejo (Hellblazer) and versions by Broussard, Keown and Stjepan Sejic (Witchblade).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cObviously, as a big fan of dark, brooding, moody comic books, The Darkness has always appealed to me,\u201d commented Spawn creator and Image co-founder Todd McFarlane. \u201cAny comic in this day and age that gets to 75 issues, especially from an independent company, is something to be acknowledged. Here\u2019s to another 75 issues!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ENGLISH] Top Cow tells us: LOS ANGELES, Calif., December 23, 2008 \u2013 Top Cow Productions, Inc. proudly
