      ARTIST’S SKETCHBOOK

      This is the third graphic novel to star Odd Thomas, following In Odd We Trust and Odd Is on Our Side. In the first book, artist Queenie Chan established the appearance of Odd and Stormy. In House of Odd, her challenge was to come up with the look of Hollywood producer Nedra Nolan and the members of the CISI team whose investigations would form the center of the plot. On the following pages are Dean Koontz’s descriptions of each character, plus Queenie’s sketches and comments as she sent them in for Dean’s approval.

      NEDRA NOLAN

      “A successful film producer among whose hits were two films based on Ozzie’s novels. She should resemble Helen Mirren.”
