Two colorful illustrations that convey the joy of comics from a special era…

Running 13th Dimension, I spend a lot of time looking for good things to publish. But just as frequently, they find me.
Like this fabulous Bronze Agey Batman illustration that comics artist Tom Derenick displayed online this week:

He posted it just about a year after this one:

Man, there is nothing like Bronze Age Batman and Robin the Teen Wonder.
And, hey, if you’re looking for a commission, contact Tom at manthing75@aol.com.
Far out.

I have twenty three commissions from Tom, mostly of Justice Society characters, I have never been disappointed. Tom is great to work with and his rates are very reasonable. If you are thinking about a commission, I would highly recommend Tom.
