Prince Street News: The Great Unseen Batman Artists of the '70s

The new BACK ISSUE Magazine (#150) is a look at the (slightly) lesser-known Batman creators of the Bronze Age (mostly meaning everyone aside from Denny O'Neil, Neal Adams, and Jim Aparo!). It's a must-have for any fan of the Darknight Detective BEFORE Frank Miller (who's also in this issue, albeit focusing on his first Batman story) turned him into the Dark Knight. 

This issue's PRINCE STREET NEWS was super fun to do: "The Great Unseen Batman Artists of the '70s" imagines what the character might've looked like as rendered by some of the few cartoonists and illustrators who DIDN'T ever draw Batman (and believe me, it's not easy to find a lot of them)! So you've got Harvey Comics' Ernie Colón, Gahan Wilson, Jules Feiffer, DOONESBURY's Garry Trudeau, Cathy Guisewite of CATHY, Marvel's John Romita, Arnold Roth, underground cartoonist, Skip Williamson, PEANUTS' Charles M. Schulz, B. Kliban, MAD Magazine's Dave Berg, and graphic designer Milton Glaser. Below the full strip are detail on a few of the pieces. 

It's been a LONG time since I've posted anything here... part of it is a lack of productivity, but also, I gotta say, nobody ever looks at blogs anymore. The Tough Guy Instagram page is primarily where I'm posting stuff these days. This page will remain as basically an online portfolio, but man, it sure feels like a lot of work anymore.
