Description

13" x 9" image area. Ink over graphite on Bristol board. Who's Who in the DC Universe #1 Page 9 BLACK MASK Pin-Up Original Art (DC Comics, 1992). Tom Mandrake and Klaus Janson. Black Mask title is an acetate overlay. See additional images without overlay and also published color version!

I just love this original version of Black Mask. Why does time just have to screw up all the original great art concepts? The current Black Mask is a joke. This one is so much darker, more evil and just downright sinister. The origin story is so dark and twisted - the evil that made Black Mask well...... fits the mask!

Tom Mandrake was the first artist to ever depict the Batman villain Black Mask, co-creating the character with writer Doug Moench for the story in Batman #386 (1985). This pin-up art from the Who's Who series features a full figure of Black Mask, book-ended by coffins bearing the costumes of Batman and Robin. Black Mask has long been one of the most popular villains introduced to the DC Universe in the Modern era.

This guy is evil. Burying their costumes. How are they gonna fight crime then? They may get a chill.
