Rafael Grampá’s grenade-wielding, high-flying Batman
Batman by Rafael Grampa
I may not understand what the text says, but there’s one thing I did take away from this blog post by artist Rafael Grampa — his Batman, like his Wolverine and Madman, is truly awesome. The image appears to be something he’s created for the RioComicon 2011, coming up Oct. 20-23 in Brazil.

It’s Portuguese. Rafael stated that it’s been a while since he updated, thanking those who still visit regularly despite the lack of updates, and mentioned that the Batman picture is from the 2011 Rio Comicon.

It appears to say “To Frank Miller 2011″.

DC, are you seeing this?!?
Get him to replace those Batman artists from Detective Comics and/or (both would be great if possible) Batman; The Dark Knight or give him $$$$ to create 80-Page Special project or even a graphic novel (or 2).
Right, bat-fans?

His Marvel work in Strange Tales 2 was great but brief. Put him in any Marvel/DC title and I’ll take it.

he’s is working on his new book, furry water, for dark horse comics. can’t wait to grab it, I think it will be the most incredible comic of all time. BUT, I really need to see him working on a batman title. maybe something like a modern batman year one…

I absolutely love Grampa and treasure my Mesmo Delivery tpb.
But what is up with Furry Water?
It was supposed to come from Dark Horse in 2010

Cich, I heard that Furry Water was late so Dark Horse decided to publish it in 2012 to take advantage of the post apocalyptical stuff. Marketing… I can’t wait to put my hands on it, Rafael is the man!

He’s not only working on Furry Water, the comic book, but also in Mesmo Delivery, the film. So don’t expect a lot of new material from him in the next few months. But I think he twitted sometime ago that Furry Water is indeed completed.
