1948/1966 Riddler Sketch Cover! Batman!

Using a recent facsimile reprint of this famous comic book, I combined the cover to DETECTIVE COMICS #140 (which fronted the first 1948 comics appearance of the Riddler character), with a new sketch of the villain as he later appeared on the 1966 BATMAN TV show!

Yep, that's actor Frank Gorshin as the superfoe, in a wild reimagining of this famed Golden-Age comics cover!

All rendered in ink, marker, colored pencils, and crayon!

More DC UNIVERSE Sketchcards! Batman! Green Lantern! Joker!

Here are scans of some of my hand-drawn trading cards, as seen in the DC UNIVERSE set! These "artist's cards" were inserted into boxes as one-of-a-kind incentives to buy the sets! I rendered these using pencils, inks, and colored pencils! It was great to draw some of the more unusual DC characters, such as Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, and Mary Marvel!
