It's been a while since Lucky Comics released a new issue of either its 30s-based Black Bat Tales book or its modern-day version of the character, The Bat. Artist (for the latter book) Dan Solano provided a little update earlier today on the Lucky Comics Universe Facebook page.The Bat #4 is coming, work on writing and illustration has begun on a new series. If you’re familiar with some of my previous work, then you can expect some special appearances from previous characters in the Lucky Comic Universe. I’ve also spoken with John and he’ll be releasing a special collection of issues 1 through 3 with a brand-new Cover, so be on the look out for that."A new series". I believe that means issues four through six of The Bat telling a self-contained tale as opposed to a whole other book being published by Lucky. The first three issues of The Bat told a story called All Points Bulletin.
And for all the fans of some of my previous work here who want to keep up with the progress of the comic and get an early preview, I’ve set up a Patreon page. Currently only one tier exists, but it’ll give access to my page where you’ll see all of my Lucky Comics work before its published for just $1 per month. I have some plans later to expand on what I can offer on the page but for the moment being this will help me keep in touch with anyone who wants to see the work here continue and new comics be produced.That would be me.
The page was set up less than a week ago so the content is a little thin at the moment but it does include a preview of the cover to the volume 1 compilation referred to above as well as two pages from the fourth issue of The Bat. Sharing those here would defeat the purpose of the Patreon account so I won't, but you can join up for a whole buck a month, support the man and help move the project(s) along.
