Based on the characters from AMC's PREACHER television series (which in turn is from the Vertigo comicbook series), the reverend JESSE CUSTER and CASSIDY the vampire from Ireland, had been interpreted by artist Rory Kurtz to create illustrated pieces that capture the essence of the characters.
"With an emphasis on more quiet moments, Rory also showed the characters in heavy contrasting light. This was essential for the next phase, which was creating statues that not only looked like Rory's paintings in pose but were painted as if each of them were followed by their own personal light source - Jesse and the illuminating sun and Cassidy with a seedy neon glow."

And from these illustrations, sculptor Matthew Black and painter Mara Ancheta brought these two to "collectible life" as 10-inch tall polystone statues! (Expected to ship 1st Quarter of 2019).
The "Mondo Exclusive" collectibles comes with an 18"x24" giclee of Jesse by Rory Kurtz, which the statue is based on.
