Description

1 of 2 pieces I was lucky enough to acquire. I was so pleased that Fan Expo was able to include Mr Quitely at the show this year. He was an absolute gentleman, taking lots of time for fans and very, very gracious and humble.

This cover was from Morrison�s last issue on this run, and Quitely�s last cover for the same.

Morrison says "This was both mine and Frank Quitely�s finale on the BATMAN AND ROBIN title, and the cover, like so many of the others, had been planned back at the beginning of the run and stayed fairly close to the original intention. This was the first cover to feature our two Batmen � pinch-hitting Dick Grayson and the returned Bruce Wayne � together in action with Robin, and I�d imagined a kind of hierarchical �totem pole� stack of heroes with one above the other" (https://www.dccomics.com/blog/2011/05/23/grant-morrison-discusses-the-cover-to-batman-and-robin-16)

P.S. Sorry for the poor pic - this piece has been framed ever since I got it, and that was long before I had a scanner.

Without doing a survey, I'm gonna go ahead and call you the Official Owner of the Most B&R Covers. And all of the ones you have are bangers! Super impressed!
