Here’s a SNEAK PEEK at four cover designs for the book: There are tons to expect in and around this graphic story book and Des explains all in this promo video: Much more to come on this one, folks.

BATMAN PINUPALOOZA Meets DESPOP TUESDAYS… — Welcome to BATMAN PINUPALOOZA, a 60th anniversary celebration of the seven seminal 1966 Batman pinups by penciller Carmine Infantino and inker Murphy Anderson that in large measure became the definitive versions of the Dynamic Duo and their venal villains for years to come. This is a 13th Dimension theme week unlike any we’ve done before: Each of our artists — Kerry Callen, Bill Morrison, Des Taylor, Walt Grogan (who did that fab banner), Chris Franklin, Dakota Alexander and Franco — is reimagining at least one of the pinups every day this week, with equal parts reverence, whimsy and humor. For more on BATMAN PINUPALOOZA and the history of these pinups, click here. — Dan — One of the (many) things Des Taylor is great at is adapting Bruce Timm’s animated style to any number of images. He’s even done it with the Batman and Robin rooftop pinup that’s being celebrated this week as part of BATMAN PINUPALOOZA: We first posted that in February, but for BATMAN PINUPALOOZA, Des has two brand-new ones for you — Batman swinging and the Joker. Dig these, accompanied by the originals by Infantino and Anderson: Damn. This BATMAN PINUPALOOZA thing has been fun so far, hasn’t it? And there’s so much more to come! — Want more BATMAN PINUPALOOZA? Click here! Want more DESPOP TUESDAYS? Come back next week! Want a commission? Buy prints? Buy Des’ comics?
