DescriptionReconstruction of the opening splash page from Batman #251 (1973), illustrated by Neal Adams. This page is distinct from the well-known cover and is far less reproduced, serving as the atmospheric narrative entry point to one of the most iconic Joker-era stories of the Bronze Age. The reconstruction was executed in traditional black-and-white line art by Chris Kohler, with close attention to original proportions, composition, and period inking logic. The intent was to preserve the visual grammar and mood of the published page while presenting the image as clear, legible original art rather than a reproduction of degraded newsprint. Commissioned as part of a private study collection focused on historically defining images whose original art is unavailable or inaccessible.Social/Sharing |

Looks so good with so many elements in such a complex situation! Creating it was genius by Adams, recreating it by Kohler is pure dedication!
