DC announced my upcoming project, Batman: Noel, on their blog last week. Suffice it to say that I'm relieved I can finally talk about it here without having to use silly insinuations and not so clever wordplay. Check out the link above to read DC's press release including a very kind quote from my editor, the incredible Mark Chiarello.
The project will be released later this year, towards the holidays and is written and draw by yours truly with amazing color work by Barbara Ciardo. If you've seen the work she did over me in Wednesday Comics, this book takes things even further. Couldn't be happier with the colors...
While I still can't show anything substantial, I was given the go ahead to post a tiny little piece of a page for you guys to see. Hopefully it will give people a good idea of the look of the book. Better yet, head over to Barbara Ciardo's blog to see it in color!! Can't say much more, but rest assured you'll be hearing more about this in the coming months. Excited, excited..
Damn, i'm excited for this! can't wait till October!

Hey, Lee, it's been a long time.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about Batman: Noel. Congratulations!
I think the Wednesday comics stuff you did was the best stuff you've ever done. Somewhere on this blog you mentioned pulling back from the hard jagged angular stylization and getting softer. I really dig that direction, where it's more about the balance of the hard and soft. It makes me think of music and how my favorite music strikes a balance of pop and dissonance. There were points in the Joker book where I felt almost overwhelmed with the angular harshness. You revel in a kind of ugliness. It's something I've always liked about you. (That Global Frequency issue still grosses me out) But the Wednesday comics stuff was different. You were reveling in beauty. I'm really interested in how this balance comes through in Noel. I don't want to be presumptuous, but I think it's going to be really good.
