Don Newton and Alfredo Alcala Batman #362 Title Splash Page

That is so iconic - great splash page! Major congrats on this gem - thanks for sharing!

Really nice splash here Hal,Congrats !

yeah thats a really killer Newton and Alcala splash, congrats!!! one of the best art teams ever on Batman

Awesome! Blue and gray Batman = Best Batman!

The two artists styles blended so well on this dramatic splash.

That was a great buy! Congrats!

This was a great era of Batman / Detective with Don Newton and Gene Colan alternating art duties.  And this is easily one the best splashes from the entire run.

You follow my gallery so you know I prefer Newton inked with a smoother approach. That being said, this IS a truly spectacular piece by a fantastic artist and storyteller.

Can anyone imagine opening that book, seeing that splash and not wanting to read on? In that sense the more illustrative approach of Alcala really did (more than) its job.

Fantastic!! Congrats

Beautiful title splash!  Everything you want in a Batman image!

This splash can work on any Batman story past or present!  It's classic iconography.

Look at the stars

Look how they shine for you

And all the things you do...

...my best Marcus impersonation.  Big gratz again butt brothah, you have truly arrived!

Congrats on this epic treasure!  This is a thing of beauty!

Stunning title splash! 

Great Moonknight! 

Bat-Line. Bat-Signal. Batman.

Awesome!

Fantastic title splash with full figure Batman! Congrats

This era of Batman and Detective is still hands down my favourite of all time. The masterful Alfredo Alcala imbued the world of the Dark Knight detective with so much atmosphere that you could almost smell and feel it. The embellishments were so incredibly consistent, regardless of whether he was working over Newton, Colan, Hoberg or anyone else he may have embellished during his run on these books. An excellent acquisition, man, well done!

Great page! Congrats!

Very striking! Congrats.

Newton died way too young.  The Newton / Alcala team is right up there among the great Batman art teams. 

That's an AA Batman grail right there.

Halbert!!! I'm so glad you got this one bro! Such an iconic image by the great Don Newton. Big congrats on this beautiful title splash page. Way to step up your game art game. Love it!

Excellent page!!!

I love the design and layout on this so much! There's great contrast between the black and white. Really makes Batman and the batsignal pop. Huge congrats! 

WOW - this is stunning, Hal!  A perfect (seriously - PERFECT) example of how to balance a comic book page and craft something completely iconic.  Impeccably rendered central figure, in a dramatic and beautiful pose, framed so well by the silhouettes and lit windows of the buildings below and Bat-signal above... even the lettering and logo placement...

Just as F M and Marcus point out, this is a timeless image that makes it impossible for any reader to pull away or free themselves from the pull of this beauty; this piece makes its own gravity.  Sincere congrats, Hal!  Gorgeous!

An iconic image for anyone who grew up reading Batman comics in the eighties. I don't read modern Batman comics, but does he still swing around Gotham like that today? No matter. It'll be very hard to top this example, so my congratulations to you, sir.

Yes, he does!  Thank you for the kind words

Stunning splash my friend!

When Gordon calls, Bats comes a-swingin'. Running is for normies. What a fantastic moment to get! Just perfect. And what excellent work from Newton and Alcala. Very cool score. Congrats!

Such a great splash! Really dig the lettering on the bottom

Very nice! Congrats! 

Get's a WOW!

Classic pose for an iconic character! Beautifully drawn and inked!

I've often found the word "iconic" in the previous comments and it definitely fits to this spectacular splash page, as well as Alcala's inks fit to Newton's pencils, adding depth and substance to the whole image.

Really stunning Batman title splash!  An instant classic!

Many congrtulations on such an iconic splash!  I have also always been partial to Alcala inks (which are unique in their own right) and Don Newton Batman artwork (he left us too soon).

Great title page!

Comment #40!  Better late than never :)  Killer vintage title splash, man - a true "essence of the Batman" page!  Got the OG costume look, swinging across the buildings, when alerted by the signal!  Love it, and the title lettering just adds to the nostalgic goodness.  Huge congrats!

The perfect Batman splash!!

Simply incredible ! One of the best Batman splash pages I've seen !

Really great title splash page, featuring Batman in action with his Bat signal.  

Really nice page!

What a beauty!
