Artist Sandy Jarrell posted something awfully cool on Facebook…

Hey, it’s no secret that we dig the work of Sandy Jarrell in these parts.

For one thing, back in March he posted a fantastic tribute to the original Teen Titans online.

For another, he did a great takeoff of the classic Batman #180 cover, with Adam West and Yvonne Craig.

For yet another, he produced my single favorite Archie Meets Batman ’66 variant cover.

And for another on top of that, he took it upon himself to improve Marshall Rogers’ spectacular Detective Comics covers by swapping in the title’s Golden Age logo.

So I had to sit up and take notice Tuesday night when I saw that Sandy posted this image to Facebook with the comment “A bit of a thing,” accompanied by bat and bird emojis:

Now, I don’t know what this is for but I’m guessing it’s part of a cover of a collected edition of some sort. And once I find out, you’ll find out.

But in the meantime, just marvel at this slice. Jarrell is clearly channeling Dick Sprang, which is a lot harder than it looks. Many artists try to ape this style for various tributes and projects but Jarrell nails it — especially the shape of Robin’s face.

Anyway, that’s all I got. Just a little something to brighten your Bat-day.
