Description

Pete, who broke into comics in the 70s underground community, ultimately became Kitchen Sink Press� art director, and among many accomplishments helped give some of Robert Crumb�s projects just the right design touch.

Kitchen had the rights to reprint the DC Batman and Superman comic strips in the early 1990s, and Pete created brand new covers that evoked the classic style of those strips. You name a classic artist, and Pete can replicate the style. As illustrated here, beautifully.

When we (IDW) acquired those reprint rights in 2012, we went back to Pete to see if he would be interested in picking up where he left off, and fortunately he was.

This cover, of course, not only evokes the classic 60s Carmine Infantino revamp of the Dynamic Duo, but also the opening animation of the classic (beloved, and often hated) 60s Batman TV show. (Which is why these newspaper strips exist in the first place, but, as always we digress.)

EVERYTHINg is hand drawn. perfect.

A prize amongst prizes as the 1996 year would have been the choice for many as it was such an important milestone time period for Batman being a cross cultural mainstream sensation. Poplaski's art gets that Infantino / Giella style and is spot on.

Poplaski's work is so clean and the inking is wonderful. I wish he was more prolific. Thanks for sharing.
