New BATMAN VAULT "Museum in a Book" BOOK



It's been really weird lately but the brand-new BATMAN VAULT "Museum in a Book" Book has been popping-up in conversations with people on the web...a lot! Also, I have got a few e-mails about it too....very strange. So it got me curious about this book's popularity & this is what I came up with. It's just got some really cool stuff with it, especially for the price! The book is 212 pages with a lot of Bat-History & wonderful photos from the DC Archives. But that's not the neat thing really. The cool thing is that it comes with a lot of fun replicas of Vintage Batman items. A Batman Mask, a Bat-Plane Paper Airplane Glider to Make, Production Art From The Set of the 1st Batman Movie, Golden Age Comic Book Cover Art, etc...The Replica Toys are my favorite because they are pieces of Bat-Memorabilia that are extremely hard to find & very rare! All the e-mails I got were mainly from Batman Fans who were really excited after buying this book & didn't know about all the stuff inside. Now, HEY! The Bat-Blog reported about this book a long time ago & you should have known, ha ha! But anyway, the book is available now, so at your next Book Store visit be sure to check it out.

Illustration For New Batman Book Coming Out in The Older "Animated Series" Style


I came across this graphic the other day on the Internet & thought it was pretty cool. This is a penciled illustration for the cover to a new children book that will be published soon by Stone Arch Publishing. Of course it will probably be inked & colored, this is just an example of what the cover will look like. The drawing was done by Shawn McManus & the book will be written by Matthew Manning. Now, of course, the drawing-style & story will be like the 1990's Batman: The Animated Series. I thought that was kinda cool...to bring that genre back. The book's title will be "Two-Face's Double Take". Look for it later this year ( Be sure to click on the artwork up above for a larger, more detailed, version ).
