75 YEARS OF BATMAN!
THE ART OF GOTHAM’S HEROES AN
Editor’s letter
to an art crusade
This issue we’re turning our attention to
comics. 2014 is the 75th anniversary of
Batman’s creation, so over on page 42 we
take a look at the dark art history of
arguably the world’s most enduring comic
character. Which artistic era of Batman
you prefer will probably depend on your
age, so our feature on the Caped Crusader
delivers imagery for every type of fan – from the likes of Jock, Frank
Miller, Neal Adams and many more brilliant artists.
Taking you back a little, in 2011, on the bustling convention floor
at San Diego’s Comic-Con, I stood silently in awe behind artist
Ken Lashley as he set about using marker pens to draw a Star Wars
mural on a car (if you haven’t seen it, Google it – it’s a thing of
beauty). Three years later and Ken is using his intricate and unique
skills to depict Batman on our cover. Subscribers of ImagineFX will
get the full effect of his detailed work (see below). You can also turn
to page 66 to see how he created this extraordinary piece of art.
Our comic fest continues with a flick through Simone Bianchi’s
sketchbook on page 60, a delve into creating a Wolverine fight scene
on page 72, and a look into how the gorgeous cover art for Fables gets
created – George Pratt shares his process on page 76.
Elsewhere, Kan Muftic reveals how he creates a scene from a film
script, and Chris Legaspi helpfully passes on his shadow and light
knowledge so you can incorporate it into your art. All in all it’s
another packed issue, which I sincerely hope you enjoy.
