French Paper Art Club releases 2 new prints as part of their ‘One Year of Batman’ project. Carlos Olmo strikes first with his redesign of the iconic Detective Comics 69 cover, aka the Double-Guns Joker cover, from November 1942. This comic was introducing Batman’s arch nemesis : the Joker ! The madman was a creation of artist Jerry Robinson (even if Bob Kane and Bill Finger always claimed to be the official creators of the Joker, most of the comics historians think this was Jerry’s idea), and he designed this great cover where the Joker appears like an evil genius in front of the Dynamic Duo.

The second print, is an original cover from DC’s Batman Urban Legends, from February 2012, originally drawn by the late Jorge Zaffino. Zaffino was born in 1957 in Buenos Aires, and his work as a comics artist inspired a whole generation of artists. See below for print details. On sale now HERE.
