So YOU'RE the a_hole, err, I mean black hole where this ended up! I remember the year that Wayne Osborne brought this to SD to sell. I was thinking about it, but then some guy started looking at it. At first I thought he wasn't going to buy it, because he was arguing that it looked like it was done in marker, but he eventually paid for it and I always regretted not moving fast enough when Wayne first pulled it out. Congrats buddy! You'll have to bring this one by the house so I can see it again!

You have a black hole and have control of it??? You are a cosmic deity, up there with Galactus, The Time Lords and Thanos....OH, you just mean you do not sell anything and want to keep it till you end up in a hole. Nice artwork, from a great period of Batman.

I come to your gallery and the first thing I see is the Bruce Timm Mr. Freeze cover. I could have stopped collecting right after acquiring that. I finally pull my eyes off of that and the next thing I see is this piece... You've got to be kidding! One of the earlier commenters summed it up with "grail of grails!" It's going to take me a while to get through this gallery. Thanks for posting these beautiful pieces!

Jones nailed all of the elements perfectly here, and you just have to love those trademark bat ears!
