Rafael Grampá’s Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham debuts on Batman Day

Rafael Grampá’s dynamic art style has earned him legions of fans worldwide and this September Grampá brings his talents to Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham, a new DC Black Label limited series. The new series debuts Saturday, September 16, Batman Day!

Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham brings Grampá’s twisted vision of both the Dark Knight and the city of Gotham to life in a tale that reaches its icy black tendrils into the deepest and darkest corners of human nature to leave you gasping for breath—and begging for more!

In a Gotham City where every day feels darker and more irredeemable than the last, Batman makes a definitive choice—to kill off the Bruce Wayne identity for good and embrace the cape and cowl full-time. But though he knows the streets of Gotham, Batman will soon come to find that he hardly knows himself. A serial killer is on the loose, and while the murder victims seem random at first, every clue draws Batman closer to the terrifying truth—that they are all connected, not just to each other, but to him as well. When an all-new rogues gallery of utterly depraved villains begins to emerge from the depths of the city, Batman will have to contend with the very nature of evil—including that which lurks in the darkest corners of his own heart—to face what is coming for the city he has sworn to protect.

In addition to Grampá’s breathtaking cover and interior art, a who’s who of comic book luminaries lend their talents to this debut issue in the form of some incredible variant covers.

Fan-favorite artist Jim Lee will be providing a variant cover (featuring colors by series colorist Matheus Lopes), with additional variants from comic book icon and Golden Child collaborator Frank Miller and renowned Batman artist David Finch. A black-and-white version of Lee’s cover will be available as a 1-in-25 “ratio” variant, along with a 1-in-50 variant cover by Priscilla Petraites, a 1-in-100 variant cover from Paul Pope, and a 1-in-250 black-and-white variant cover by Miller, also based on his cover art.

Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham #1 will also be available (at participating retailers) in a “noir” version, showcasing the complete first issue (art and letters) of the story in vivid black and white.

Make your way to the Baltimore Convention Center this September 8-10 for this year’s Baltimore Comic-Con. The convention has announced the addition of comics guests of David Finch, Brian Haberlin, Mark Morales, Richard and Wendy Pini, and Matt Slay as guests in 2023. Please purchase your tickets here.

Joining us from Canada, David Finch received recognition for his early work at Top Cow Productions on titles such as CyberforceAscension, and Aphrodite IX. He then went on to spend a number of years at Marvel Comics, working on blockbuster titles including Ultimate X-MenAvengers (and the relaunched New Avengers), and Moon Knight before jumping into an exclusive contract with DC Comics in 2010 where he flexed his writing muscles as well as his drawing skills on Batman: The Dark Knight. He also worked on DC’s Forever Evil, and provided art on Wonder Woman (with his wife Meredith on writing duties).

An award-winning comic book artist, writer, editor and producer, Brian Haberlin began his career in comics working at Top Cow Productions, where he co-created the Witchblade franchise. He co-founded Avalon Studios, which published many successful fantasy and sci-fi titles, including: StoneAria, and Area 52. Brian also served as Editor in Chief of Todd McFarlane Productions and penciled and inked its flagship title, Spawn. After co-founding Anomaly Productions, he’s published Anomaly (and Anomaly: The Rubicon), ShifterCreative Creature Catcher (augmented reality children’s book), and a number of comics published through Image Comics (Faster Than LightSonataThe Marked). He currently writes and illustrates the comic Hellcop. Brian teaches comic art at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and his work is in the permanent collection at the Smithsonian Museum.

A longtime comics pro, Mark Morales has worked for many companies, including Image, Dark Horse, Chaos, DC Comics, and Marvel Comics, mostly as an inker. Past projects from Mark include ThorDaredevilBatmanX-MenAvengers vs. X-MenSpider-Man/Deadpool, and Astonishing X-Men. Currently, he is working on Heroes Reborn and The High Republic from Marvel Comics.

Richard Pini is the co-creator, sometimes-writer, editor, and publisher for the long-running fantasy graphic novel series ElfQuest. He is the author of the Eisner-nominated art book Line of Beauty – the Art of Wendy Pini, as well as co-author and editor of two other related volumes: The Art of ElfQuest and ElfQuest – the Art of the Story. A graduate of MIT in astronomy, as well as planetarium writer, lecturer, and teacher, he has contributed articles to magazines on the wonders of the heavens. He managed 2018’s year-long 40th anniversary celebration for ElfQuest, and intends 2028’s 50th anniversary to be a major extravaganza. Most recently, he executive-produced the ElfQuest Audio Movie and the 30-song concept album for Wendy’s Masque of the Red Death.

Wendy Pini has been drawing literally since the age of two, and has worked for Marvel, DC, First Comics, Comico, Dark Horse, Ace, Berkley, Tor Books, and many other publishers. She is the co-creator, writer, artist, and colorist for the long-running fantasy graphic novel series ElfQuest, widely acknowledged as “the first American manga.” She wrote and painted two Beauty and the Beast graphic novels based on the original TV series, as well as a critically acclaimed 400-page dark, futuristic reimagining of Poe’s Masque of the Red Death, currently in development with an award-winning team as a thriller for the musical theatre. Most recently, she story-edited scripts for Season One of Dagaz Media and Realm.fm’s 10-episode Audio Movie adaptation of the first ElfQuest novelization, “Journey to Sorrow’s End.”

Matt Slay has worked in comics for 15 years, but quickly made a name for himself painting variant covers for IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. His dark and earthy watercolors bring a grown-up sense of danger to any character. Born in St. Michaels and raised in Easton, the Maryland native now paints for the sci-fi anthology series Time Traveled Tales with authors such as Timothy Zahn. Matt has generated production art for Marvel Premiere as well as Iron Man 3, and has since provided covers for Six Gun Gorilla and American Mythology’s Equilibrium while writing his own book and cartoon series, 3 Story Dungeon. Matt is represented by Comic Art House.
