The Batman: The Golden Age cover that wasn't

In May 2019, I was assigned (way in advance!) the BTGA Vol 7 cover, an absolute dream gig- I love Jerry Robinson and Dick Sprang both SO much that the hardest part was deciding which story to cover- but Sprang's bonkers "The Year 3,000" from Batman 26 ended up being the undeniable choice. The story features (spoilers!) a descendant of Batman fighting EVIL ROBOTS IN SPACE. Alas, months after I turned the job in, the Age books shifted to vintage cover images, and this won't be used. But the work got done, and here's some process. Initial sketches were done in Procreate for iPad, final art on 13 x 19" Strathmore 500 w/ brush, nib and markers, scanned and colored in Photoshop. Thumbnail Color rough "pencils" Inks! And as it would have printed, more or less.

366 days! Not sure if there's any eyes on this space, but here's what I did for the rest of 2020.   The first of 14 pages for an upcoming issue of Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology (v2 issue 6). Adaptation and layout by P. Craig Russell, letters by Galen Showman, art and color by me. Absolute dream gig, I'll talk more about it once it's out. Maybe November? A couple of Drawn From the Dreaming illustrations done for Audible/DC to promote the Sandman audiobooks. A super-spoilery page from the story (The Tell-Tale Heart) that James Finn Garner and I did for AHOY Comics' Edgar Allan Poe's Snifter of Blood And while I was doing Archie in 2019, I was going back and forth, working on this too. Finished early 2020, released in November. I drew just over half of this, my "fantasy" scenes alternating with Agnes Garbowska's "real world" ones.
