The Ditko in the cape is a nice little touch.

I don't know if he would like me to state the price but it wasn't that much. He got a little backed up on projects so it took a little longer than he thought but it was well worth the wait. His artwork is really great and it looks better in person.

When just seing the left half of the drawing tips I thought it would be Frank Cho's old gag of just filling in the details in the oval.
Nice to see that even the greats think in terms of the basic steps.
Nice theme art pieces as well.
Thanks for the insight.

Should one of the "Batman through the Ages" have him with a gun?
That might be pretty cool...

Heh - I used to have a Batman issue with him holding a gun on the cover, it was mostly red, I believe...
MAC could change the one on the lower right part of the page, beneath "swinging" Batman and the Miller-esque one. I agree, it would be cool...

If I for once should point out a small deviation from perfection - I'm used to seing the "hood" of the Phantom closer to the mask.

PS, here in Sweden the Phantom is very popular.

Lets see..I ran out of bristol board so i went to Kinkos and percured some
11x17 sheets(which is what the PHANTOM is drawn on), then i sharpened my regular yello pencil, i thinks its #2 then i inked it with Pitt pens, #s 2,5,
and 8. Nothing fancy, i use what i have lying around.
Hope that helps.

I like his stuff with Continuity best.

Thanks. So you don't use drawing pencils, just regular #2's?
