Gotham by Gaslight 2





This is my favorite Elseworlds Batman. The book actually started the concept of transplanting the mythology of Batman in different times and places. In Gotham by Gaslight: A Tale of the Batman, Bruce wayne begins his clandestine activities as the Bamtan in Gotham circa 1889. A series of murders similar to those committed by Jack The Ripper coincides with Batman's appearance and Bruce Wayne finds himself framed as the killer. The book is written by Brian Augustyn and illustrated by Mike Mignola with inks by P. Craig Russell.

GN Comics ranked Gotham by Gaslight #13 on a list of the 25 greatest Batman graphic novels, saying that the comic is "as taut and well-conceived a graphic novel as you can find -- Elseworlds or otherwise." 

This is the same figure seen in this post  but this time, by another photographer -- myself :)

In my opinion, the sculpt is also one of the most faithful interpretations of the illustrated work. Check out the art inside the book:

Migrating to Facebook

After a tragedy in the family and a slow return to my hobbies, I've realized that I've been posting more on Facebook. It's easier, faster and the audience response is faster. So, posting here might be spasmodic at best for the time being. Bear with me as I decide what to do with my blogs, thanks!

Custom ARAH Duke

Here's another repainted Duke with some new ammo packs made in putty. This is a custom painted 1993 Battle Corps Battle Commander Duke. One of my early experiments with epoxy putty. I have another version of this figure on the workbench so expect to see it soon here too.
