The Kitchen Commander

A cover idea, drawn with example people

The idea

Dinner is a battle. She has never lost one. In this cover idea, a grandmother hands her daughter the family recipe card and says "Your turn, Commander," and the kids salute. When a dragon of steam rises out of the soup pot, the mom points her spatula at it and tells it to sit, stay and simmer, and it curls around the pot like a pet. The family ends at a full table, the kids calling it the best soup in the universe. It suits a mom who runs the kitchen, for Mother's Day, her birthday or any family dinner worth a story. We drew it in the Modern Comic style, one of our six, with example people. Yours stars the person you choose: their face drawn from your photos, their city in the story and the details you tell us, across 26 pages.
