Description

Nightwing #83 Cover
Art by Bruno Redondo
Written by Tom Taylor
Unique Digital Screen Print
Not for Sale

This iconic perpetual motion cover set the tone for the historic issue 87 which presents a series of continuous actions spread across pages that all feature a single (continuously expanding) background. The technique is generally called polymorphic reduplication, and it has a history that goes back at least as far as Winsor McKay in the early 1900s. The opposite, in which a series of images are broken into separate cels dividing a single background is known as a multi-panel pan sequence. 

This particular scene reminds me of a great Paul Gulacy sequence from the April 1976 issue of Master of Kung Fu (look it up, it's pretty great), which is fitting when comparing and contrasting Gulacy with Bruno Redondo. 

This is one of my favorite pieces of comic art, and it doesn't require its own binder as would issue 87. As with all of the art created for this run, it's a monoprint of exceptional quality, signed on the front, back and on the C.o.A.

For some reason this reminds me of a 80's-90's video game!

Really cool cover composition with the perpetual motion style approach as you pointed out! Far more interesting and effective than a single static image could be to get the same storytelling effect across. Also it takes me longer to put ny socks on than it takes Nightwing to do a full costume change while on the move and navigating stairs. :-/

Such a fantastic cover - one of the pieces that I think helped gain so much attention to Bruno's run on the book (and which matched the interior storytelling so well).

Huge congrats!

One of the reasons I look forward to one day reading this run is to finally read this issue, which a friend told me about a while back. Poetry in motion!

It's issue 87 to which I think you are intending to read. That's the 13 foot single panel comic —but the idea for that started here on this cover, four issues earlier.

Oh, yeah, that's the issue I was referring to. I assumed this was the cover for that story. Either way, I intent to eventually read the entire run, not just that story.

Really cool animation style!  Like levels of a video game where he must complete his task without a wardrobe malfunction.

A flawless execution of technique and style on this one. If only we could all swing in for a quick change with that kind of dexterity, we'd all be superheroing it to work all the time.
