New BATMAN BLACK & WHITE STATUE By Cliff Chiang

Dang, DC Direct keeps cranking out those BATMAN BLACK AND WHITE Statues! But I think they're pretty cool so I'm not complaining. This latest statue was designed by Cliff Chiang with a look inspired by the Dark Knight's appearances in FIRST WAVE! Cold-cast in porcelain, the statue measures approximately 7 1/4" high, is painted in monochromatic tones, features a Bat-logo-shaped base and is packaged in a black and white box. looks like it will have a Retail price around $ 80.00 and will be released October 5th, 2011.

CLIFF CHIANG Original Comic Book Cover Art BATMAN DETECTIVE COMICS # 815

Here's an example of some really great comic book art! This is the original cover art to Batman's DETECTIVE COMICS # 815. It was done by Cliff Chiang. It's kind of interesting to see how it went from the black & white drawing to the colors they used when printing it. The main figure ( the bad guy ) & his victims are all rendered with black line-work while the background is done with a dark blue/gray color giving it a whole other feel, like as if it's "other-worldly" or "ghost-like"...a very nice graphic effect. We know many readers of this blog collect original comic book art just as passionately as the vintage toy & comic book collectors so please share some of your favorite original art.
