My Back Pages, Part V

Hello, and welcome to Part Five. Today, we're looking back at my work copying DC Comics superstars Brian Bolland, Tony S Daniel, Ivan Reis and Lee Bermejo.

Brian Bolland

Batman, by Dan Cheeseman copying Brian Bolland.

The noble perserverance and compassion of the Dark Knight is inspiring; before the fire, I had this picture hanging above my desk.

When I need to draw a shine on black clothing, I still use the method employed above on Mr Cobblepot's jacket.

Tony S Daniel

Batman, by Dan Cheeseman copying Tony S Daniel

Wonder Woman Vs Deathstroke, by Dan Cheeseman copying Tony S Daniel

The Bat-Family, by Dan Cheeseman copying Tony S Daniel

Of all the copying work I did over the years, I think this one took the longest. I revisited it constantly over several months. Can you name all sixteen characters?

Ivan Reis

Cyborg, by Dan Cheeseman copying Ivan Reis

Grid, by Dan Cheeseman copying Ivan Reis

Mister Stubbs, by Dan Cheeseman copying Ivan Reis

Seeing this again makes me want to revisit the spectacular series, The Multiversity (2014). I can't believe there hasn't been a sequel, or at least a spin-off following the adventures of Nix Uotan through the DC Multiverse.

Lee Bermejo

And on that terrifying note, its time to end. Smell ya later! 🃏
