Batman & Robin

Sorry, everyone, for having to remove the page of Batman & Robin #7 I posted last week - unfortunately I jumped the gun and posted it without going through the proper channels and so, quite understandably, I was asked to remove it.

To make up for it, here's an early drawing I did of the characters to get a feel for them. This is NOT appearing anywhere in the series, it's not a cover, it's just a drawing I did for my own practice, but it's a decent enough example of what my work on the book will look like...



PS I've had dozens of people ask why Batman & Robin #7 wasn't in the December solicits - I actually don't know, I don't have anything to do with that decision, the book is completely drawn so it's not because we're behind schedule or anything. I'm sure there's a valid reason for it but I'm not the guy to ask. Sorry!

Batman and Robin #7 First Look

UPDATE: SORRY - HAD TO REMOVE THE PAGE


Here's a page from my upcoming Batman & Robin story. I'm not going to show too much on this blog, because obviously we want you to buy it, but I'll ration out a few bits and bobs as we go...

Now, here's what I need you to do. This Wednesday, September 16, the solicitation for Batman & Robin #7 is in the new Previews catalogue (for those of you unfamiliar with the comic book direct market system, Previews is the distributor catalogue that all comic book retail stores use to order stock). I need you to go in to your local comic shop and talk to the people who work there, and tell them that you're really looking forward to this, and if you really want to be bold, suggest that they should probably order a few extra copies to be safe. I feel like, as a guy who hasn't done a whole lot of big mainstream superhero work, I'm the dark horse in this race and I need all the help that I can get, and it would be great if advance word-of-mouth could help make a little jump in sales. Thanks for your help!!

I've been keeping this secret for months, but it's finally been announced that I will be drawing issues 7 through 9 of DC Comics' Batman & Robin, with my frequent collaborator Grant Morrison. I couldn't be more excited about this and I hope that you'll be along for the ride.

Below, the line art for my 1-in-25 variant cover for issue 7 (the regular cover will be by original artist Frank Quitely):
