Exclusive: Get a look at The DC Art of Bruno Redondo Dust Jacket

Clover Press has announced The DC Art of Bruno Redondo, the second volume in the The DC Art Of… books, the recent line of high-end boutique art books showcasing the very best artists to craft the DC multiverse. Three-time Eisner Award-winning artist Bruno Redondo has built a world-class career perfecting his art for DC’s comics in the 21st century, and now, The DC Art of Bruno Redondo collects his very best work from the first era of an already impressive career. With over 200 pages, the 9”x12” volume highlights Redondo’s defining runs on Injustice and Nightwing, as well special selections from Justice LeagueBatman: Black & WhiteHarley Quinn: Black, White & Red; and much more. Head to Kickstarter to sign up for the pre-launch page ahead of the campaign’s launch.

After making a name for himself on titles like Human Target (with Len Wein), Push, and Batman: Arkham Unhinged, Bruno Redondo joined his Star Wars: Darth Maul collaborator Tom Taylor (DCeasedAll-New Wolverine) to take the reins of Injustice: Gods Among Us, elevating a digital-first video game tie-in comic to a fan-favorite series with a fiercely devoted readership. The scope and tenure of the story also provided the perfect testing ground for Bruno to experiment with and hone his signature style of fluid, unencumbered pencil work combined with a precision sense of design. After Injustice’s conclusion, Bruno lent his name to other high-profile DC series, including Justice League (with Scott Snyder), Titans (with Dan Abnett), and Suicide Squad (again with Tom Taylor). Beginning with Nightwing #78, Bruno and Tom Taylor began what quickly became one of the seminal runs on comics’ first sidekick, Dick Grayson. Their take on the former Boy Wonder was refreshingly bright for a bat book, in both narrative tone and visual style, and put Dick in the comics spotlight for the first time in years. The unique kinetic language and attention to detail that Bruno brought to the character helped the series top itself month after month and, ultimately, earn Eisner Awards for Best Continuing Series and Best Single Issue. Bruno would also take home the Eisner for Best Cover Artist. 

The DC Art of Bruno Redondo will feature a collection of Bruno’s extensive work with DC, as well as an introduction by Bruno’s frequent creative partner, #1 New York Times-bestselling writer Tom Taylor. The campaign will also feature extras, including rarely-seen sketches and commissions, Redondo’s Nightwing covers, a fold-out edition of the iconic Nightwing #87, a sticker pack, a poster pack, and more, available in Clover Press’ traditional options of hardcover, dust jacket, slipcase, and signed slipcase editions.

We have the exclusive reveal of the dust jacket which features some of Redondo’s amazing art. You can sign up now so you don’t miss out when it launches.

Dirty Donny Must Be Destroyed: The Art of Donny Gillies arrives September 2026

Things are about to get dirty! Break out the black light and crank up the tunes as one of the most celebrated visual artists in music and pop culture, Donny​ Gillies, is set to release a stunning collection of his work with Dirty Donny Must Be Destroyed: The Art of Donny Gillies, in stores September 29.

This 224-page memoir coffee table book celebrates the renegade spirit and art of Donny Gillies, better known as Dirty Donny— one of the most influential artists to invade the pop culture scenes of the punk, rock ‘n’ roll, and heavy metal underground. Known for his distinct style on concert poster art, Stern pinball machines, and skate decks Donny’s iconic images have graced from some music’s biggest acts, include Metallica, Kiss, Aerosmith, Primus, NOFX, and the Melvins, as well as his stunning black light poster art for the Netflix hit series Stranger Things. Donny’s visceral, blacklight-charged style has earned him collaborations with major brands and bands and a reputation as a go-to artist for anything that needs attitude and heat.

This monster volume busts Donny’s studio door wide open; featuring UV reactive blacklight printed pages of unpublished pieces, rare rock posters, prints, custom and production pinball machines, as well as automotive finishes on drums, helmets, cars, and guitars sit alongside candid essays, and interview-style narration with the man himself. Diving into the last decade of his work and curating the most iconic images of his career, Dirty Donny Must Be Destroyed functions as both an art-book treasure trove and an oral history, ‘the big book of Donny,” as he calls it—gives fans and collectors new context for the images they’ve loved and the behind-the-scenes detail they crave. This is truly a must-have for both Donny fans and connoisseurs of the rock aesthetic.

Dirty Donny Must Be Destroyed: The Art of Donny Gillies​ will be available wherever books are sold, as a full-color hardcover (ISBN: 979-8-88724-201-9) on September 29, 2026, for a list price of $49.99.
