Description

Mister Freeze from Batman The Animated Series style guide (1991) -
1ST appearance of animated style Mr. Freeze.

The only Freeze piece in the original style guide.

Published in many books and products (and still being used today).

Based on a concept sketch by Mike Mignola and a finished design by Bruce Timm.

This piece is the one that was published in preview articles and predated
Mr. Freeze's appearance in the landmark episode "Heart Of Ice".

This page also features the final designs of the BTAS versions of Catwoman
& Riddler (also in his animated version published debut).

I'll try to provide a better image soon.

What a piece of BTAS history! Beautiful drawings, love the catwoman and Mr. Freeze. And the paset up head of Riddler is a nice touch. I love when art has process as part of the piece. Congrats.
