Description

Tommy Lee Edwards rendered this mysterious and stunning illustration of the former Robin for his 2014 DC self titled, Nightwing #28. The piece was published as the "Steampunk" Variant. The art has an image area of approximately 10" x 15" and is signed at the lower right margin by Edwards.

According to Wikipedia, Nightwing is "a superhero identity assumed by numerous fictional characters in the DC Comics universe [...] Post-Crisis, the name is attributed to a historic Kryptonian crimefighter; this hero serves as an inspiration for Dick Grayson when he sheds his Robin identity and assumes the name and a new costume. Grayson was featured in an ongoing Nightwing series between 1996 and 2009, before Grayson took on the identity of Batman. After Grayson's return to the Nightwing identity during DC's 2011 event The New 52, a new Nightwing series was also established [...] In 2013, Nightwing placed 5th on IGN's Top 25 Heroes of DC Comics."

Personally, this cover brings a lot of thoughts to me about Steampunk works - like the Bioshock PC game series, Studio Ghibli anime movies, William Gibson's The Difference Engine and the world of Hellboy to name a few.

So this piece works on many levels, reminding me of Batman, Robin, Steampunk, and maybe just how to adjust to an insane world or to become a product of an abnormal world...

Thank you, it is a very special piece and I did speculate that I could be the only person on this planet to truly appreciate this cover. Good to read that I was wrong! :-) More great Tommy Lee Edwards art can be found on his website http://www.tommyleeedwards.com/
