by Richard Bruton

For all your comic art needs – it’s the weekly Art For Art’s Sake, every week for quite a while now and this week we’ll end with a little MW Kaluta Batman for your pleasure.

One of the most iconic Jaime Hernandez Maggie & Hopey pieces? Maybe? 1997. Just stunning

The famous Jim Steranko Nick Fury cover from 1968 wasn’t the first comic to be inspired by Salvador Dali‘s The Persistence of Memory from 1931. Thanks to this post at The Bristol Board, there’s also this 1948 Star Spangled Comics Robin cover by Jim Mooney and John Giunta – including Dali’s face on the clock.

 

But those aren’t the only ones – The Bristol Board has this one from Giorgio Comolo

But there’s also this from Paolo Rivera

 

And to end with, a selection of Batman done by the brilliant Michael W Kaluta.
