Art For Art’s Sake #330: So Many Rogues In The Mind Of Dave Bardin

by Richard Bruton

Welcome to Art For Art’s Sake, your regular zip aroound whatever art took my fancy this week… aren’t comics just the best?

We’ll end this week with a plethora of Rogues courtesy of Dave Bardin. But first…

A few Tank Girl commissions to begin… first, Glyn Dillon

Rufus Dayglo

Brett Parson

And if we’re doing Tank Girl, it would be very wrong not to include Jamie Hewlett… first a 2023 recreation of a 1996 image that went to the printers and didn’t come back – and in those pre-digital days, that meant it was gone, gone, gone…

And then a 2024 print….

Jorge Fornes – Batman: Year One

Chris Weston – DD

David Talaski – Batgirl

David Mack‘s Klimt inspired Rogue and Gambit

Javier Rodriguez

Terry Dodson – Zatanna

Alan Davis – Night Raven

Jenny Frison – Red Sonja

Dan Hipp – Star Wars meets The Thing

And a classic Carmine Infantino and Gene Day bit of Star Wars

Annie Wu – Birds of Prey
