Straight for the art | Rafael Grampá draws Batman and Robin
Batman and Robin
Mesmo Delivery creator Rafael Grampá shares a piece of artwork from an art exhibition celebrating Batman’s 70th anniversary. This is the first I’ve heard of such an exhibition, but I’m sure more information on it is coming soon.
“Batman was the first comic character I drew when I was 3 years old,” Grampá writes. “I always watched the 60’s TV series and I was totally crazy about it. This character was very important in my dream and decision to be a comic book artist when I was a kid.”

I like it.
His Joker channels Jerry Robinson.
His Robin is distinctive enough, despite the Tintin hair.
And Batman is striking. The details are astounding.

I think I’d like to see him do possible miniseries involving the Dark Knight. Grampa’s art is like a smooth mix of Frank Quitely and Paul Pope which really does please my eye.

DC should totally get him to draw the third arc of Morrison’s Batman & Robin series.

Wonderful and very original rendering of ingloriously Batman and Robin! I wouldn’t fuck with a kid with his over sized ugly brass knuckles!

Is that a warm up peek of his possible DC secret project?!
I certainly hope so!
