This week, on Wednesday (2 days ago ), the latest "RETROACTIVE BATMAN, The 1990s" Comic Book came out. I have not read it yet but the cover was done by Norm Breyfogle so you know it's gotta be good, ha! It's nice to see him back drawing Batman, even if it's only for this one-shot comic. The story line involves the Ventriloquist and Scarface. Two characters Norm Breyfogle helped make famous back in the day. There's a brand new story & then they reprint a classic from the 90's. What a cool concept! DC Comics should do this more often. In the last few weeks they have also released book like these that celebrate the 70's & 80's. They were pretty popular so I see this one doing well also. It should still be in stores now, hopefully, so go grab yours today!
OK, Batman Comic Book Fans from the late 80's & early 90's will totally remember the artwork of Norm Breyfogle. He drew the character from 1987 to 1993. Well, DC Comics is bringing him back for a one-shot called "DC RETROACTIVE: BATMAN, The 90's". Now, don't look for it real soon, it doesn't hit the shops until August 17th, ha! But it should be pretty cool & well worth the wait because they're also bringing back the same Writer from that period, Alan Grant! Both Norm & Alan will revisit a pair of villains closely associated with their original run on The Caped Crusader: The Ventriloquist and Scarface! Released on a technicality one year after being arrested, this bizarre duo is determined to reclaim their status in the upper echelon of Batman’s Rogues Gallery. This “lost tale” of the era spins directly out of DETECTIVE COMICS #613, reprinted in this issue!
Anyone who collected or grew-up with the Batman Comic Books of the 1980's and 90's will instantly recognize this artwork done by Norm Breyfogle. In fact, he's really famous for his version of the Batmobile Car that you can see in this picture. This is a commissioned piece done recently by him ( Please click on the above image for a larger, more detailed, picture ). I love the fact that it has the Ventriloquist & Scarface Villains, way cool! But, unfortunately, he won't be doing anymore bat-sketches for awhile because he is seriously way too busy with his new job. He will be drawing not one, but two, Archie Comics in the near future. Well, not 2 issues, but 2 complete titles...every month. The workload will be totally crazy! But you also know he's gonna do a very good job & I can't wait to see it.
