Blake Foster Unveils Phantom Force #1 Cover Art

Shift From Screen To Page

Blake Foster, who played Justin Stewart—the original Blue Turbo Ranger—in Power Rangers: Turbo (1997–1999), has turned a new page in his creative journey. On Instagram, Foster announced his role as cover artist for Phantom Force Issue 1: Invisible Impact, teaming up with writer Aaron Coney. The actor-turned-artist shared, “A new legend is born! Excited to announce Phantom Force, Issue 1 – Invisible Impact by @aaron.coney with cover art by yours truly! I’m honoured to be part of the launch of what’s going to be an epic new chapter in the genre.”

Inside Phantom Force Issue 1: Invisible Impact

Phantom Force, produced by Phantom Force Comic, introduces readers to a multicoloured team of heroes “but not the ones you grew up with.” The first issue, penned by Coney and illustrated by a rotating roster of talent, sets the stage for fresh characters in a world of high-octane action. Foster’s painted cover features bold lighting, a sleek three-dimensional rendering of the hero squad, and a dramatic color palette that nods to the serialized style of ’90s sentai and tokusatsu shows.

In a follow-up Instagram post, Phantom Force Comic teased additional interior art and preview pages. Fans can pre-order their copy via the @phantomforcecomic handle on Instagram or visit phantomforcecomic.com. The launch supports independent creators and small presses: Foster emphasized, “Support independent creators, storytellers and comics, it’s what keeps this industry going!”

Supporting Independent Storytelling

Foster’s involvement underscores a growing trend of actors exploring graphic storytelling. His post included related tags such as #phantomforce, #comics, #covers, #superhero, #tokusatsu, and #3dsculpt, reflecting both the analog roots and digital tools shaping modern comic art. By stepping into the art studio, he joins established painters and sculptors who’ve contributed to series at Image Comics, Boom Studios and beyond.

During the Phantom Force cover reveal, Foster also spotlighted a prior announcement from the official Phantom Force account. That post read, “Take a look at the official cover art for Issue No. 1, brought to life by @tokujay! Issue 1 out this week! Stay locked in 👀 #PhantomForce.” Foster’s version, by contrast, delivers a personalized take that blends his love of Power Rangers’ primary color schemes with photorealistic rendering.

From Conventions To Canvas

When he’s not in front of the easel, Foster remains active on the convention circuit. A recent Instagram post showed him signing Turbo Ranger helmets at Mississippi Comic Con, inviting fans to “Shift into Turbo” and share memories from the ’90s franchise. His convention appearances, including this weekend’s stand at RangerStop & Pop in Atlanta, demonstrate how he balances fan engagement with new creative projects.

According to his Wikipedia profile, Foster began acting at age five and landed the Blue Ranger role at 11. Since Power Rangers: Turbo wrapped in 1999, he’s returned for anniversary specials, voice-over work, and charity events. Now, by branching into cover art, he’s combining long-held fan passion with professional experience in design and digital sculpting.

Phantom Force Issue 1: Invisible Impact marks Foster’s first major foray into comic covers, and his followers have responded with enthusiasm. His use of 3D render techniques and classic brushwork bridges generations of fans—from those who watched him morph in 1997 to newcomers discovering today’s independent superhero tales.

Whether you’re a longtime Power Rangers devotee or a comics collector seeking fresh world-building, Foster’s debut cover is a striking invitation to explore Phantom Force. Order your copy through @phantomforcecomic, and witness how one fan-favorite hero paints a new legend.
