Dark Agnes’ instinctive skill in combat wins her the name of Sword Woman. That skill is tested on the coast of France, where she foils a plot by Britain’s devious Cardinal Wolsey to undermine  the French king, and again in the benighted alleys of Chartres, as she faces the  vengeance of an executed sorcerer who will not die.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div>Look for more news and release dates soon!</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31285289-5672618135429295573?l=johnwatkiss.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07573797816111519731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31285289.post-91656794088643887302009-06-17T18:24:00.001-07:002009-06-17T18:25:05.819-07:00<div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oPdZfusoOts/SjmXYkXOtpI/AAAAAAAAAx0/-YEAQuFaAGA/s1600-h/Other-5_Prev.jpg"><img style="float:left;

A perfect candidate for the Sandman resurgence in the 1990's. <br /><br />The recent passing away of my wife has persuaded DC Vertigo to return the original development art back to me(However I would rather have kept my wife than have this Artwork in my possession.) DC Vertigo recognizing the fact allowed the release of this development art which will be available for Sale. <br /><br /><strong>UPDATE:</strong> These Paintings are now for Sale<br />Please Contact <strong>UPDATE:</strong>email correction Contact: Ryan Gaff <strong>sandmantv@hotmail.com</strong><br /><br /><br /><br />New Painting added for Sale<br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_aEL_vZ1ydzQ/Rudqu7gc8HI/AAAAAAAAAC0/jVCB6MyZx9o/s1600-h/Sandman+5_Blog.jpg"><img style="float:left;
