Charlie Adlard is best known as the artist of The Walking Dead, including being the co-creator of characters such as Michonne, Negan and The Governor. But since that series finished, he has been working on graphic novels for the French/Belgian market, often with frequent collaborator Herik Hanna on graphic albums such as Altamont. But he will be returning to American comic books for a new Batman: Black & White story in the pages of April's Batman: The Brave and the Bold #12, DC's monthly anthology series, out on the 23rd of April, adding a variant cover too.
"Henchman" is an 8-page black-and-white story, the first Batman comic for Adlard, "exploring what it means for Batman to confront Barney Peterson, an ex-Gotham City goon-for-hire who's lost everything due to his life of crime. Does the Dark Knight believe that redemption is possible, or does he stand by the "once a criminal, always a criminal" philosophy?"
The anthology will also includes the conclusion to Batman's team-up with Gotham Academy student (and founder of the school's secret Detective Club) Mia "Maps" Mizoguchi, written and drawn by Karl Kerschl. And in a story written by Delilah S. Dawson with art by Serg Acuña, "Artemis continues her quest".
It's also a first DC Comics story for Thor, Venom and Punisher's Torunn Grønbekk with art by Fernando Pasarin, "Lois Lane encounters the mysterious figure behind "The Hunt," the online challenge that has entered the real world with deadly consequences."
Here's a look at some of Charlie Adlard's work on the Batman comic book in question.
