This is artist Camilla Rojas, posing next to a Batgirl image he drew. Which bears an uncanny resemblance to this image from All-Star Batman And Robin The Boy Wonder, drawn by Jim Lee.

It's always fun when this kind of thing happens. This week, I took the girls to see Big Hero 6, ahead of its UK release at the end of the month. By which time you'll probably be able to buy the DVD on Region 1. I would get annoyed at the UK/US release schedule, but […]
Comic book artist Meghan Hetrick was tipped off by a fan of hers that British artist Gary Parkin selling a sketch cover of Evil Ernie #1 with Lady Death on it on eBay. This image is indeed a blatant rip of the commission she did for the fan, which she posted online. Turns out that she is not […]
