I have been working (off and on) on a graphic novel revolving around the Zodiac case from the late 60's.
This image is a splash page idea (that I have altered slightly for posting on the web).
The portrait like images of the two kids on the cork board behind the unidentified man (the zodiac) are likenesses of his first two known victims, David Faraday and Betty Lou Jensen.
Zodiac had a proclivity for mailing taunting letters to the press and the authorities and I had always imagined him being haunted by his victims at random times. So I thought about a "what if..." scenario and imagined him in the act of sending off another letter to the press only to be confronted (or rather haunted) by the faces of those he killed.
If you're interested in learning more about this exceptionally fascinating case please visit http://zodiackiller.com and http://zodiackillerfacts.com. Their are a lot of bad sites out there with bad information but these two are among the absolute best.
