The Scent: A trip to the Comic Book store, filled with anticipation, paper and ink, plus a touch of magic.

The Inspiration: Our first Comic Book and the Stan Lee Alliance Universe.

More particularly, Orphans, by Stan Lee, Luke Lieberman and Ryan Silbert (who happens to be my Son-in-Law), with illustrations by the legendary Bill Siekiewicz.  I was blown away by the work, and was inspired to recreate the experience in scent.

COMIC BOOK ALLIANCES ORPHANS BUNDLE
Alliances: Orphans opens with Stan Lee’s "Traitor's Revenge" prologue, one of the first pieces of the Alliances Universe created and written by Stan Lee (as well as his co-creators Lieberman and Silbert) and drawn by Eisner Award winning industry luminary Bill Sienkiewicz (Moon Knight, New Mutants, Elektra), who also painted the cover.  The core story of Alliances: Orphans is brilliantly drawn by visionary artist Szymon Kudranski, beloved for his work on Superman: Action Comics, Spawn, Punisher, and more, while Lieberman (Red Sonja) and Silbert (The Coldest Case) contribute writing throughout.
