Description14.75" x 8.75" image area. Ink over graphite on Bristol board. Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #49 Page 19 Original Art (DC 1993). Russ Heath.I don't think it was by accident that Russ kept the art tall and narrower than usual. This gives the impression we are watching the action unfold over multiple levels of a tall building. BRILLIANT!!! Great near ending page with everyone dropping in - Batman, Catwoman and Catman! Pencil and ink majesty by the legend, Russ Heath. Social/Sharing |

The urban jungle. The bat and cats stir at night! Heath uses the rain and the shadows to great effect!

Excellent observation! Russ Heath's composition is absolutely masterful here. The tall, narrow panels enhance the sense of verticality, making us feel like we’re scaling the building alongside the characters. His use of deep blacks and multiple techniques to create various textures on the building's facade, adds a noir like intensity that's perfectly suited for Gotham’s atmosphere. The fluid motion from panel to panel, especially the way Batman and Catwoman descend while Catman ascends, creates a dynamic interplay that feels very cinematic. Fabulous!

I couldn't have described it better, Ruben! You've got a gift in your perception.

excellent Heath page with such intricate techniques and detail throughout. the shots in silhouette, rain effect, brick building backdrop, and general sense of speed and movement are all fantastic!
