McFarlane and the image founders revolutionized comics for me personally when they first came on the scene. The details in the art were so refreshing and exciting. I know he wasn't the best with photorealistic depictions, but I didn't care- the detail and signature style blew me away. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I don't think Image was trying for the photorealistic look *cue Rob Liefeld Cap America
They had some of the best talent though in all seriousness
I've gotta read this run at some point. The combination of early McFarlane with early style gun wielding Batman is just irresistible.
Batman Year One and Year Two are a couple of trades you should definitely grab, can probably find them cheap on Amazon used. I still need to read Year Three :x
I feel like Year One gets a lot more attention. It was actually one of the earliest Batman stories I read. Year Two I just don't see around that much.
Totally agreed, I have never seen this before but I feel like I must read it. That cover is awesome! I love how the hook takes up most of the image space. That is some foreshortening for ya! I think I can see some hints of Spawns cape to come in the future.
