Listen to me talk!

I am a guest on this week's Sarcastic Voyage Podcast. Listen to us talk about Batman, Alan Moore, Jack Kirby's 2001 comics, mustaches, and of course, GALAXY OF THE DAMNED.

It was a lot of fun and you should check it out!

Sketchbook: Riddle Me This!

I'm one of those people that watched a lot of Adam West Batman when I was a kid. It was in heavy syndication for a while there, and there was a period before The Animated series (and after Super Powers got the axe) where there was no other Batman around. I dunno, it just stuck with me, better than any other iteration of the characters has in the 20-odd years I've been into comics and superheroes.
I'm also pretty much into all things kitsch and camp (probably because of a steady diet of said Batman series and Get Smart, among other things; blame Nick At Nite in its heyday for that). I don't know where I'm going with this.
I was watching Schumacher's Batman and Robin, having a good laugh, and I thought about the old TV villains. They had the classics, of course, but they also made up an assload of them for TV. The Archer, Minerva, some others. King Tut was always a favorite just out of silliness. There's something to be said for thinking putting Victor Buono in gaudy Egyptian outfits would work as "villainy."
This is my favorite of the bunch, and he's even based on an actual Bat-villain. Frank Gorshin will always be it for me.
I might do some more doodles like this of other 60s Bat-Villains. Maybe I can do them better than this one, even. Anyway, yeah.
