Catwoman #21 page 16

For me, the heart of both stories Cameron Stewart illustrated for Ed Brubaker’s run on the title is Holly Robinson. Holly first appeared in Batman: Year One (one of my all time favorite comics) so it warmed my heart to see her reintroduced in the first issue of Brubaker’s run all those years ago. Once Cameron took over as artist on the title, Holly’s importance in the stories grew. I guess that wouldn’t have anything to do with Cameron drawing the cutest Holly you’ve ever seen, now would it?

I chose two pages from Cameron’s run. One from each story and each one Holly centric.

This second page comes from the story Wild Ride and shows a nice small moment where Holly picks up her shots from the photographer from her road trip with Selina to Keystone City, hometown of The Flash.

Who wouldn’t fall in love with Holly after seeing that close-up of her in panel 6? Even if she does ‘play for the other team’. :)

Interestingly enough, both pages are laid out digitally (including balloon placements) and then printed on the page in light blue. Cameron then inked directly on these loose layouts, which gives the art a very vibrant and spontaneous feel.
