Batman #1 Art Drop on Batman Day (Saturday, September 20)!

After 13 years of redefining modern superhero comics, Jorge Jiménez is about to make history once again!

Jiménez has been a powerhouse at DC Comics, with a résumé that reads like a Hall of Fame lineup: Super Sons brought his dynamic style to the forefront, followed by a five-year run on Justice League alongside Scott Snyder, and a groundbreaking five-plus years shaping Gotham City with James Tynion IV, Tom King, and Chip Zdarsky. Now, he has joined forces with superstar writer Matt Fraction for the landmark relaunch of Batman #1!    Arguably the biggest comic book event of the year, issue 1 is being hailed as a modern classic and is already heading to a second printing.

Critics have been unanimous in their praise:

“Jiménez’s art is a visual symphony—fluid, cinematic, and endlessly re-readable.” – Comic Book Herald
“Every panel is electric. Batman has never looked this alive.” – PopVerse
“Fraction and Jiménez have set a new gold standard for the Dark Knight.” – The Beat
"If there's one Batman comic you pick up all year, let it be this one." - AIPTcomics.com

But here’s the news that will send shockwaves through the collecting world:
Every page Jorge Jiménez has ever created for DC Comics has been entirely digital—until now. For the very first time in his storied career, Jorge has created traditionally drawn artwork for this historic Batman #1.

• Seven traditionally drawn pen-and-ink pieces from Batman #1 will be available in this drop.

• The remaining pages will be offered as premium monoprints, and to mark the occasion Jorge will also be including custom remark sketches of the customer’s choice.

This historic release is scheduled to coincide with Batman Day and will go live Saturday, September 20 at 10 AM PST exclusively at www.comiconart.com.

This is a rare chance for collectors at every level to own a piece of Batman history from one of the industry’s most celebrated artists. Mark your calendars and get your popcorn ready - this one should be a lot of fun!
