Opening scene page One for Batman Son of the Demon by the super-talented Jerry Bingham (pencils and inks). Written by Mike W. Barr and beautifully illustrated by Bingham, this book was not only a historical landmark for graphic novels, but set the bar for future stories as well. SOD was the very first Batman graphic novel ever published by DC Comics, so very significant and ultra-successful that it not only thrilled and enthralled readers around the globe, but has served as an lasting inspiration for an innumerable amount of comic book creators, writers and artists alike (including Alex Ross) for decades since its original publication back in 1987. Brilliantly written by Mike W. Barr and beautifully illustrated by Bingham, who painstakingly inked each and every page with a quill pen for maximum dramatic detail and epic effectiveness, this book is just simply loaded with various factors which make it so very, very special indeed - Batman marrying Talia and having a son with her and teaming up with his arch-foe Ra's Al Ghul to take down the dangerous terrorist Qayin, whose diabolical plans threaten the entire planet.
This spooky scene depicts Batman's arch-villain, Ra's Al Ghul as he rises out from the smoking hot bowels of earth herself. Bingham penciled these pages and then painstakingly inked them with an old fashioned quill pen: dip and ink, dip and ink, etc.
Stunning beautiful work, much in the tradition of the old masters such as the legendary Hal Foster. A clear testament to Bingham's superb talent and full-out dedication to his profession.
