John Beatty Week: Day 2

John Beatty Week: Day Two brings us John’s inks over Mitch O’Connell’s Batman.  Mitch’s art was turning up in fanzines [Comic Buyers Guide, The Comic Reader, Amazing Heroes, and many others], and in fact, Mitch published several issues of a pretty cool fanzine of his own.

Mitch and I exchanged a couple of letters [this was in the dinosaur days before the internet].  One thing led to another and soon Mitch and John agreed to team up on a couple of pieces.  I’m pretty sure that this is the first.

Tomorrow we’ll see the result of another of Mitch and John’s team ups. This piece was done in 1980.
