CLASSIC BATMAN ARTIST MARSHALL ROGERS HAS DIED I am fond of Marshall Rogers' version of Batman, both the 1977 version with Englehart as writer, and the 2005 version with Englehart again. Rogers was a superb draftsman with real training in mechanical drawing. His Gotham cityscapes were drawn with an eye toward architectural reality, and were a dramatic contrast to the antiseptically drawn Gotham City of the usual superhero artists. Rogers' also had a genuine sense of design, and this also made his stint on Detective Comics stand out. The NEWSARAMA site has a page about Rogers' career and the announcement of his death here. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - From my sketchbooks:
It's light-hearted like Eisner's original Spirit tales, and Cooke has the same sort of affinity for female character's as Eisner, as in none are as bad as you think, or as good. The artwork and story is well-done in the superhuman mold, and I just wish all of DC Comic's product had this level of quality. A full review to follow.

Space photography has been changing at an incredible rate, and will keep on doing so as space probes launched by the United States, Europe and Japan continue sending back new photography. This story has moved. Read more about Saturn and it's rings.

A painting of a famous Mountain in Scotland.
The Darwyn Cooke take on Eisner's The Spirit barrels on, this time with Silk Satin showing up in issue #4 as a CIA agent who alternatively insults and pines for "Gainsborough," her pet word for The Spirit (because he dresses all in blue, like painter Thomas Gainsborough's "The Blue Boy," get it?) also back is Hussein (he was in issue #2), the double-dealing but affable Arab.
