Black Bat GN Cover

 A recent Instagram post by artist Mike Belcher confirms that AMK Comics' Black Bat graphic Novel is still...well...it hasn't been completely set aside. 

I didn't include the image here upon first seeing it on IG last week because I thought I'd done so in the past. After inspection, it appears I was remembering a different one and this was indeed a new reveal by Mr. Belcher. Very good, we'll keep an eye out for more. 

Beware...The Black Bat!

As the AMK Comics Black Bat graphic novel continues to move forward, artist Michael W Belcher shared art on social media of the character design with which he chose to proceed. 

I can be be open-minded to alternative versions of the character but there's no need to be here. To me, this hits pretty well all the right notes in terms of the Black Bat's appearance. I prefer a full face mask, the shoulder holster (as opposed to hip or lower back) and, of course, the scarring around the eyes is mandatory. 

Very nice, I look forward to seeing the project continue to take shape. 🦇

Black Bat Graphic Novel On The Way!

Man, I can't believe I missed posting this. 

Based on art found on social media, I speculated on February 12th that a Black Bat comic might be in the works.

Four days later, writer Ron Fortier gave a pretty thorough description of the product to come during an Airship 27 podcast. I thought I shared it here but evidently I failed to do so.

I've tried to set the video below at the right spot but if I've failed to do that too, Mr. Fortier begins talking about the project at the 58:40 mark or so. 

Mr. Fortier also wrote about it on the Airship 27 Flight Log a couple of days later.

Compared to some other past projects involving this character, it sounds like it's moving along at a pretty good clip. Being that it's going to be a print-on-demand graphic novel, it seems reasonable to assume it will considered an AMK Comics products and sold from their Indyplanet store. 

Is There a Black Bat Comic In The Works?

Today's content is once again brought to us by Mike W. Belcher.

Sneak peek of the only non-Man in the Mask story (at least so far), I have in the works. And not written by me to boot. More to come...

I again initially saw these on Mr. Belcher's Instagram account but if Instagram isn't your thing, you can find his work on Twitter as well. I loathe Facebook so I couldn't tell you if he's on there.

I should point out that his posts include sketches of Tony Quinn without the Black Bat suit and the formidable Carol Baldwin so float on over there to see those. You might also be interested in his Man In The Mask series published through AMK Comics.

For a while, I had so many consecutive posts about Lucky Comics material that I thought I was coming off like a shill for them. I hope to have the same "problem" with AMK or whatever publisher Mr. Belcher might be doing this work for.
