Batman and Azrael writer David Hine who seemed to, well, stop writing for DC with the relaunch, is continuing to write a Batman character in a new graphic novel. If you're willing to really stretch the definition.

He's writing for Mark Stafford, an artist who I've labelled the greatest British working comic artist you haven't hard of (twinned with Terry Wiley) and who has painted the covers to my Avengeful books for Boom! in the current Diamond Previews.

The Man Who Laughs, to be published by Self Made Hero, is an adaptation the Victor Hugo which inspired the 1928 film starring Conrad Veidt with a "grim carnival freak-like grin" which inspired the appearance of The Joker.

The graphic novel wll be published next year. Here is one of the visuals being used to promote it.
