Cartoonist Sam Alden has had quite a year in 2013 -- and 2014 looks to be in even better.

The artist, who won this year's Ignatz Award for Promising New Talent for his work on Haunter and Hawaii 1997, will release Wicked Chicken Queen through Box Brown's Retrofit Comics. Debuting in February, Wicked Chicken Queen will be Retrofit's flagship book for spring 2014, to be  joined by comics from Zac Gorman and Madeleine Flores.

Retrofit has given ROBOT 6 the exclusive first look at the cover to Alden's next work, which we're happy to show off here.
