Description

Never let a great idea go to waste.

Howard Chaykin turned an unused Batman pitch into an imaginative new series for the extremely short lived �Heavy Hitters� imprint from Marvel/Epic in 1993.

I'm fortunate to have seen most of this title's original art and each page is beautiful: Great storytelling, terrific draftsmanship, and a generous use of deep India ink and screen tone for depth and effect. He busted his ass on these pages, and it shows.

Bonus: Great lettering, as always, by John Workman.

Honestly, the only thing I don�t like about the series is the coloring (not by Howard), but hey, it was the 90s.

The four-issue series has never been collected, but individual issues typically turn up in dollar bins, and are worth seeking out.

Remember, you can�t kill the Midnight Men.

That's an awesome splash with Chaykin making the 80's look turn into a 90's look. He saw the trends to make characters more buff and bolder to ridciulous proportions for the times. That black on black ink is great to make the white areas glow even brighter.

I think the colouring could have killed it back in the day, so much better in B&W
