DARK KNIGHT DETECTIVE by Declan Shalvey

THIS is what I would love to do at DC, if ever given the chance.

DARK KNIGHT DETECIVE; a crime series set in Gotham city. Not a superhero book. It would be a mix of the Batman Animated Series, Year One, Gotham Central, and The Wire. This would be a more street-level book with the emphasis on the Batman solving actual crimes, instead of fighting super-villains all the time.

Someday......

EDIT: Jordie scrapped my crappy font, and replaced it with a much nicer, and pulpier looking title.

LOOSE ENDS by Declan Shalvey

Hey folks, here's my piece for this week's Twart. It was my pick this week and I really wanted to shine the spotlight on a fantastic new comic by creators at the top of their game. I complain that when I pick up a comic I often have to pick between a good story or good art. It is tough to find a comic that is both well written AND illustrated with real vision (including some brave and innovative colouring). LOOSE ENDS is one of those books. Issue One just came out on stands. Please try and grab a copy of this truly compelling Southern/Crime/Romance story, or you can download it online from Graphicly.

Big thanks to Jordie for colouring this piece for me.

TORPEDO by Mr. Hawthorne

Before any of you accuse me of being too ambitious for painting my entry this week, remember that Bernet and Toth both drew TORPEDO. Wasn't shit I was gonna do with just ink that was gonna come close to what those two masters, both artistic heroes of mine, did. So, I did some shuckin' and jivin' and hoped for the best...

Also, sorry for the bad scan.
