The late, great Jerry Robinson’s birthday was yesterday while we were off New Year’s Day-ing it. But when your contributions to comics are as timeless as Robinson’s, we’ll bend the rules:
Here are 13 covers (or other bits of art) with Robinson’s stamp. Mind you, this is the man who co-created Robin, the Joker and Alfred. Y’know, minor characters in Batman’s world.
