Description

Dreaded redlines are used here in this 1994 page by Mike Parobeck and Rick Burchett. The red lines guide where the color tones change to the colorist Rick Taylor just like how animation cels can have gray and then a deeper shade of gray to show definition and dimension. All done without black outlines. They are actually quite normal for this time period right before switching to complete computerization and a unique facet of the process back in the 90's. Why post this now? I got this from Richard Martines a few SDCCs ago and it's his time to shine in the latest Felix Podcast.

There were few better marriages of artist and title than Mike Parobeck and this book.

I always enjoyed Parobeck's art. Nice four panel page. But why does Batgirl have Solomon Grundy's testicles wrapped around her neck?

Dick and Barbara were the true Bat-Family couple.Parobeck could draw a lovely page. I love Mike's art. Another one lost too early. Thanks for sharing!

Four great panels, each with a different and distinct camera shot and camera angle.  Very cool.

Barbera and Dickie were lovers, oh Lord how they did love
Swore to be true to each other, true as the stars above
He was Robin, he wouldn't do her wrong

Barbera went down to the Tower, just for a moment of cheer
She says, Mr Garfield Logan has my loving Dickie been here
He's Robin, he wouldn't do me wrong

I don't want cause you no trouble, I ain't gonna tell you no lie
I saw your lover an hour ago with a gal named Starrr Fire
He was your man, but he's doing you wrong
Barbera looked over the transom, she saw to her surprise
There on a cot sat Dickie, making love to Starrr Fire
He is my man, and he's doing me wrong

Wow I love this art duo on BA. The red lines used to bother me but when you know that's just the way they did it at the time it doesn't phase me. Enjoy!!!

Oh how I loved Mike Parobeck's artwork! I was just re-reading his Justice Society last week. This page is fantastic!

Parobeck lines are very peculiar! he has his own language! Very great for an artist. A different kind of Batman from the one we are used to... le me say a lighter batman but definetely peculiar and nice. I like ot very much!

I don't mind the red lines at all and have a few pages with them and it doesn't bother me a bit. All I see here is a great page! Congrats, great addition. Thanks for sharing!

Parobeck left us much too soon.  He was the best Batman artist of the 1990's and this lovely page shows why.
