DESPOP TUESDAYS! A couple weeks ago, DESPOP TUESDAYS was devoted to Des Taylor’s groovy print celebrating the Batman: The Animated Series episode The Laughing Fish. It was one of six licensed prints that Des sold through Bottleneck Gallery in Brooklyn a few years back. Those went as quick as the Batmobile, but artist’s proofs are available at the Despop website. Here’s the thing, though: Des did six other prints that were never produced — and we’re showing them off, one by one, across several weeks, in a li’l series dubbed THE UNSEEN DESIGNS. We started off with Robin’s Reckoning, and this week we give you Feat of Clay, because people are talking about Clayface right now. The 1992 two-parter was written by Marv Wolfman and Michael Reaves, and directed by Dick Sebast and Kevin Altieri.

DESPOP TUESDAYS! A week ago, DESPOP TUESDAYS was devoted to Des Taylor’s groovy print celebrating the Batman: The Animated Series episode The Laughing Fish, which adapted both the 1977 Steve Englehart/Marshall Rogers story of the same name, as well as 1973’s Batman #251, by Denny O’Neil and Neal Adams. It was one of six licensed prints that Des sold through Bottleneck Gallery in Brooklyn a few years back. Those went as quick as the Batmobile, but artist’s proofs are available at the Despop website. Here’s the thing, though: Des did six other prints that were never produced — and you’ll get to see each of them over the next several weeks, dubbed THE UNSEEN DESIGNS. We’re starting off with Robin’s Reckoning, the seminal two-parter from 1993 that gave us the show’s version of the Boy Wonder’s origin. The episode was written by Randy Rogel and directed by Dick Sebast Dig this: Des’ design is deceptively simple, with an aggrieved Robin front and center, haunted by his memories of his parent’s deaths. Moody and evocative. For the artist’s proofs for the six prints that were produced — each measuring 18″ x 24″ — click here. — Want more DESPOP TUESDAYS? Come back next week! Want a commission?
