Batman: The Brave & the Bold
This surprised me- when this new Batman series was announced I expected more of the same, so I was very pleasantly surprised to see these bright, fun images. Producer James Tucker is one of the best artists I've ever known, and I really hope he gets to put a lot of his Dick Sprang/ Chester Gould influence into this show. Can't wait!
UPDATE: An interesting contrast: What artists think of the new designs vs. what "fans" think of them.
Bakshi: Unfiltered
I've been lost in this book for the past three days, possibly the best animation art book since "Illusion of Life". Visually, the best parts for me are the drawings by the phenomenal Louise Zingarelli, early John K. and Lynne Naylor, and some amazing drawings by a guy I'm not familiar with, Don Morgan. Steve Worth posted some great "Cool World" drawings and a remembrance of Zingarelli on the Asifa archive site, but I can't find much on Morgan. Anyone have some art or info to share?
