Description

Part II of the SE Asian drop - this one from Malaysia and the EXTREMELY talented Kael Ngu, who just had his first Marvel cover with a White Widow variant. I saw his work via Scott's Collectibles (very easy to work with, thanks Dan!) and reached out to be on his list. I presented the artist with some choices, and he went with Penguin + Gotham City, and knocked it out of the park.

I love everything about this. Taking a classic, powerful Penguin and portraying him as the King of Gotham. The perspective is fantastic, and Kael really has a way with cars, and this one looks dope AF. That it's raining Benjamins is the icing on the cake. Absolutely brilliant piece, and I'm seriously thinking of jumping right back on Kael's list.

DC, it's waiting to be a cover...

There's a fantastic video of Kael inking this piece on his Instagram feed (kaelngu).

Nice! This is different from what I've seen from Kael and a great take on Penguin
