Lee Bermejo, Batman: Noel, Ink wash, 8.5”X11”, 2011
Batman
Noel's most remarkable quality is, of course, the art, blending realism,
elements of a modern setting, and noir together seamlessly. Lee Bermejo is
easily in the top 5 artists working in comics today.
This artwork was used in a very successful graphic
novel called Batman: Noel. It is a comic book story about Batman and the Joker.
It is suppose to resemble A Christmas Carol but with a twist. The art used is a
dark, gothic style. This connects to the theme because Batman has and always
will be a very popular and well known comic book hero. I chose Bermejo’s
artwork because it was a great story that could be read by simply looking at
the artwork throughout the book.
