The cover of the Graphic Novel written for The Hollows series of Urban Paranormal books...

Nice find, pretty cool.

Live2ride · March 11th, 2011, 08:28 PM

lol, I can imagine that the people that read the book (ppl without moto knowledge) think to themselves "Holy crap that bike looks good, it must be really really fast!"

edit: I'm wondering if the tail section was meant to have something in front of it, or if it's simply bad photoshopping

I don't think her hand would be touching it considering the placement of her foot with no visible lean (yes, I know the bike is leaning).

bob706 · March 11th, 2011, 08:40 PM

If you look at the rear wheel it isn't round on top, it sorta merges into the tail section. I could name 20 other things but I'll save you guys from my rambling (no reflection of her on the bike, should have erased that ugly stock fender, no Kawasaki sticker on stock windshield, etc, etc.) Ugh, this is what I see as a graphic artist.

Very cool find. I wonder if the book is any good. Has any one here read it?

gfloyd2002 · March 12th, 2011, 02:38 AM

Dammit. That is the stock IRC tire tread I see on the front. Look out vampire, that groove down the middle of the front tire will grab lane lines!

Raven · March 12th, 2011, 04:59 PM

Haha I find it harilious. I wonder if the writer said something such as "120 mph acceleration bursts" in the book not knowing its a 250cc..

ally99 · March 12th, 2011, 05:21 PM

I'm so buying it!

So does the highest-rated tire: GT501. FWIW, I know you said BT45 is highest-rated but the direct comparisons I've seen, like that one magazine face-off, all give the nod to GT501. All saying that BT45 are the best are usually people whoe replaced IRC with the only one of the three OEM selections available in the USA and couldn't consider GT501 (until recently you couldn't order GT501 in the OEM size).

WHAT is an Urban Paranormal book?

My guess: Urban legend + ghost story.

wyckedflesh · March 13th, 2011, 03:25 PM

LOL! you guys kill me.

The Graphic Novel is based on the "Dead Witch Walking"/Rachel Morgan series of Urban Paranormal. IE: All the things that go bump in the night, set in modern times but exist and are real and intractable. Vampires, Witches, Banshees, Leprechauns ect. in this case.

This is the advanced image, so it should be more complete by the time it is released in July.

Since I was seeing the author Kim Harrison yesterday, I figured I would get my original Windscreen signed at the same time. She laughed her ass off when she found out what the bike really was

alex.s · March 17th, 2011, 04:48 PM

I'm sorry, but that really is some dreadful photoshopping.

headshrink · March 19th, 2011, 11:20 PM

Good find. It was probably those evil "eyes" that made the cover.

Here is a an old one I found.
