Visions of BloodRayne Cover

This is a collection of the best and greatest BloodRayne cover and pinup art since the beginning of the comic book series. No ads, no text, just pages and pages of beautiful art presented in bookshelf friendly format. Everyone's favorite videogame vixen illustrated by Greg Horn, Romano, Rob Delatorre, Mark Robinson, Steve Scott and many, many others.

Soon out in all comic book stores worldwide . . . CLICK HERE to view a highres version of this cover I did.
