Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Michael Golden's
Batman was way beyond awesome, and it's a shame he didn't draw more of the
Darknight Detective's adventures. We can give thanks, though, for those he did illustrate (and, yeah, you lucky Groove-ophile, you, they're all here on the Diversions--check 'em out!). Here are the splashes from those gorgeous-o-yet-all-too-rare masterworks...

You missed the Batman Specia; with the Wraith by Mike W. Barr and partial inks by Mike DeCarlo
ReplyDeleteThat one was post-Groovy Age, but perhaps I should have bent my own rules and added it...
DeleteBat Mite's New York Adventure was in the 70s though:)
DeleteBut...um, no splash page I guess...

Bat-Mite will be included in a future post with Man-Bat and The Demon. Don't wanna fire all my guns at once... ;D
DeleteGreat images and a cool post...!!
ReplyDeleteI forgot how great these were! Now I need to dig thru my collection to find these!
ReplyDeleteYes, great images. And great examples of how vital and unique the inking process is to a image.
ReplyDeleteVery true. Golden's are is so strong you can see it no matter who inks him, but the sheen and textures are very different inker to inker.
DeleteNice to see all of Golden's Bat-Artwork collected in LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT: Michael Golden.
ReplyDeleteIts a Swell Hard Cover Book.
