Here's a version of the Batcave, pencils and inks by me.

Hey, that's really cool!

Nice job, Joe.

Very nice work, Joe!

Looks like a mixture of Sprang and Kirby. Well done!

I was thinking that as well, Dan; it's a very Kirbyesque Batcave.

Yes, intentionally so; Dan is correct.
Kirbytech on Batman and his wonderful toys seemed like a good fit to me. Too bad Jack didn't get a crack at him during his prime years.

Anyway, thanks Trevor, Leo, Frank, Dan and Kevin.
I'm always open to feedback - good and bad - on my art and appreciate the group's receptiveness.

That is done so very well. Wonder if Ian had a few minutes...

A good place for feedback is here:

Can be tough at times, but you can get good info there.

...how did Kirby ever not work on Bat-toes anyway?

Great piece, Joe - I'm damn impressed!!

Thanks so much, Matthew!


I registered with penciljack a while ago; haven't posted work there yet, though should. Good tip - thanks again!

Glad that you dug it, Ian!

I see the Kirby look to it, and any look at the batcave will bring out Sprang, I think, but my initial look made me think of Toth. I think because I felt a little Herculoids vibe to it.

I know I'm weird.

Nice retro feel to it. Reminds me of the Batman "100 pages for 60 cents" comics from the seventies. They always reprinted old stories and pin ups to fill out the book and this could easily have been one of them.

Nice work, Joe.

Thanks ACK! That's a great compliment."Retro" stylings have always appealed to me and it's that dynamic I shoot for with my own stuff.

I appreciate that, James. Thanks!
