Description

The classic cover to Batman #423 by Todd McFarlane is in my Top 10 list of Favorite covers.

And, since I will never be able to own the original art to that cover...getting the prelim art to Tyler Kirkham's cover to "I am Batman #1" is the next best thing for me.

Tyler drew this detailed prelim on standard 11 x 17 comic art board.

It's not the original to Batman #423, but it does display the same imagery and the same emotion.

Well, technically speaking I have to assume that the finished art to Tyler Kirkham's cover to "I am Batman #1" is the next best thing for you, followed next by this prelim for that cover, no? Either way, a classic cover to do an homage for and I'm not surprised it's one of your favourites!

Wellllllllll...to be specific, this is the "next best affordable" thing, for me :)

All the shine of McFarlane layouts
All the art we willed from the Mc Lines

Tyler's prelim I still can handle
These Bats could hold the girl but it'll
Never be enough
