To echo OML Guy -- mo' Ayesha, mo' betta! Although it's tough to argue that Dagar doesn't cut a dashing figure all by his lonesome. Thanks to the legendary Mr. Owens for keeping yet another all-but-forgotten hero in the spotlight!

The intersection of three comic art titans -- Owens, Banks, and Almond -- to produce a fourth: Batwing. How much more titanic could this be? None. None more titanic!

Oh, for the days of the "two sides line up and do battle, like the Continentals vs. the Redcoats" covers that were so common back when. More OML love from the House of Ideas, please!

Hi Michael- FYI, as you can see from the note I wrote on the back of this piece, this isn't a blueline. I light-boxed it with graphite pencil before I inked it. Just so you know. :)

Hey, Gary -- Of course, if I just turn the piece over and look, you have already helpfully provided this information. :) D'oh! My sincere apologies, sir. I've adjusted the description above to accurately reflect your process. Thanks very much for the catch -- and again, for the beautiful inked artwork. And it was a pleasure to meet you and thank you in person on Sunday!
