Description

Historic birth page of Anarky...where he first comes to life.

Note: his mask is shown on 3 previous pages...but, mask only, like a preview.

This is the page where we are fully introduced to him...where he speaks and kills for the very 1st time.

Awesome!! Underrated Batman villain IMHO - reminds me a lot of V (i don't know if there was specific intention there to tribute or not) as well as the main characters of the Mr. Robot series...and sort of like the Anonymous hacker group in real life I suppose. Anyway, getting sidetracked haha. Great birth page Jordan! :)

Thanks, Kavi. I think you are on to something with the homage to V for Vendetta...as Anarky was born 1 year after V was introduced. Hmmmm....

What a historical 1st page! So underappreciated in the Bat-Mythos. Always liked this version as opposed to the other reiterations that have shown up over the years. An absolute voice for what I believe our authors were believing at the time. Not to mention - A Grant/Breyfogle original. Just amazing to see this and thanks for sharing!
