Description
15" x 10" image area. Ink over graphite on Bristol board. Batman: Gotham Knights #7 Page 8 original art (DC 2000). John Buscema.

Not a mutant, not a super-powered freak, Batman shines as he is, a mere man with brains over brawn, and billions of dollars to buy all the high-tech crime-fighting Bat gadgetry.

This Black and White story, crafted solely by the pencil and pen of one of the great masters of comic art, John Buscema, was his first work for DC after retiring from a long career with Marvel. It was also his one and only Batman work. Two years had barely gone by when John would develop stomach cancer and die at the age of 72.

What a rarity! Batman gets the last laugh.

Big John's mastery of the medium is fully evident here. Every panel is perfection.

That should count as a Batmobile.  The potent storytelling is all here.

Alfred needs to oil the bat-wheel bearings ;)

Seeing this page makes me wish Big John hadn't been quite so closely knit to Marvel so that he could have had a nice long run on a Batman title. Cheers on getting a page from this rare gem of a story.

That's for sure!  It is a shame Buscema didn't have more time for Batman.  What is especially nice about this story is at least it is ALL Buscema.  In a way, though, that makes it even more painful to see what John could have done had he had the chance to continue.

Man, John really knew how to give gravitas to his characters. Batman is absorbing the light. And the way he depicts the disguise is fantastic. That 4th panel is Milleresque, it's inked so well. A beautiful page. Congrats!
