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!

Congrats on such a stunning DPS. Jones' gothic style was perfect for this pairing of Batman and Swampthing.

This is an amazing example of a Kelley Jones piece, but John Beatty really hit it out of the park with his inks!

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!

Such a killer DPS! Always loved when Batman ventured into Swampy's turf. Such delicate backgrounds.
Jones nailed all of the elements perfectly here, and you just have to love those trademark bat ears!
Keeper for sure!

Marcus, this DPS is simply incredible! I can't take my eyes of of it and I can't believe I am only seeing this in your gallery for the first time. This is probably one of the best pieces of art I have seen on CAF in the past few years. Those turtles! Marvelous!

I love the masterful play between shadows and lights and one of the most impressive portrait of Swamp Thing that I'm able to remember. An authentic masterpiece by K. Jones.

I really enjoy the shapes of Kelley's figures. That Killer Croc especially is a great example of Kelley's unique approach to anatomy.

Absolutely spectacular. And the unsure look on Batman's face is priceless. Not an expression that you see all the time on Bruce.

Congratulations, what a crazy memory! Mid 90's and this clash that became a DC classic between Killer Croc, Swamp Thing and this Batman with Jones' unique design. Probably one of my favorite DSP's ever!

Not something I read or have any nostalgia for but the art and style speak for themselves without that context. Brilliant!

Its absolutely epic, mysterious and fairy tale-like. The thousands of details and precise lines create complex warps, giving shape and volume to everything.

The level of detail is stunning, as is the inking. Batman looks like a piece of Japanese art. Really different!
