The Batman Who Laughs #2, March 2019
“A Batman who laughs is a Batman who always wins.”
I don’t try to acquire too many modern pages.
Especially story pages.
I miss the ballons lettered directly on the art boards. The modern pages look “incomplete” to me. (And often exacerbated by backgrounds that are digitally added later as well.)
And great modern pages (like this one) are often priced a bit expensively by the artist — or the artist’s rep. For similar prices, you can often find some great vintage art.
But… I’m definitely a fan of Jock’s art, and this page was much too cool to pass up. It’s from the Dark Universe spinoff, “The Batman Who Laughs.” One part Batman. one part Joker. Bat-Joker indeed.
And of course, it’s a fight page — without the dialog, you still get the basic idea.
