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. 

Note, 7/30/2015: All of these are now available via the "Shop" tab above, but contact me directly if you're curious about quantity discounts/combined shipping. Thanks! Here's the originals from Lord Death Man '66, featuring the mighty Batgirl and a bit of Penguin and the Boy Wonder. Some of the pages will come with an extra sheet of digital extra content (rarely exciting/presentable, but kinda fun), some of that hasn't survived- I'll note where I have it. Page 1 is a weird one, with background on a separate page, the rest are complete things. Price below each page, please email whamcomics at gmail dot com with wants.
