We’re not quite done yet with BATMAN ’66 WEEK. As a coda to last week’s festivities, we have a preview of Ruben Procopio‘s lovely watercolor art for the digital-first Issue #26.
Our love of all things Batman ’66 knows no bounds here, but this art is particularly beautiful. It’s not often you see watercolors in comics and it was such a perfect choice.
The two-parter, written by Jeff Parker, features the outlaw gunman Shame, making his Batman ’66 comic debut. The story will also appear in Issue #9 of the print edition of the title, in March.
Sayeth the official DC blurb: “Batman and Robin hit the dusty trail to track down that six-shootin’ sidewinder, Shame. He’s out to rob a train. Can the Dynamic Duo stop him in his tracks?”
I’m guessing they can, but it’s all in the journey, citizens:
