Description

Azrael versus Bane in an iconic cover! The image speaks for itself but what I appreciate the most is that it works both horizontally and vertically, creating a ying-yang effect, or metaphor.

Ink over graphite of DC cover illustration board.
12" x 17".

Awesome cover ! I think Roger Robinson's run on the title was criminally underrated and it's great to see more fantastic art from it.

I wasn't reading a lot of new comics during this time period, and that encompasses the Azrael series, so I can't speak to whether Robinson's run is underrated, but there is no question that he & Pascoe created a striking image for this cover. And, thanks for pointing out the "yin-yang effect" in your commentary.

Cool cover my friend. You know I like me some action on a cover. Having Bane on it is a definite win.

Wow! Love this! I haven't seen this cover in quite some time, but it brings back good memories. One of Robinson's best covers in the series.
