Description

Glen Orbik and Laurel Blechman Batman #568 Cover Original Art (DC Comics, 1999). A powerful homage to Virgil Finlay, a master of the pulp-fiction scene. Orbik and Blechman depict Batman and Poison Ivy in conflict with a monstrous Clayface for Part 2 of the "No Man's Land/Fruit of the Earth" serial. The composition evokes Finlay's famous 1940 cover rendering for Abraham G. Merritt's The Face in the Abyss, as seen in Famous Fantastic Mysteries magazine. Acrylics on Masonite. Image area is 14" x 23"

Great piece. I regret not bidding higher but you probably would have got it anyway.

Congrats.

Gorgeous cover, so dynamic and powerful! The pose and attitude of Poison Ivy remind me of Bernini's famous sculpture "Apollo and Daphne".

Thanks! Yes, the pics do not do it justice. It is absolutely stunning in person.

I just got the first one in the arc (Shadow of the Bat 88) which I will be posting soon as well! Now just to find the third one....
