2000AD #2465 p.01 - Chief Judge Reinstates the Mechs! Deren Beq

This masterfully inked original art page by Mike Perkins serves as the cinematic finale to the historic 1939 team-up in The Bat-Man: Second Knight #3

letting Superman’s sudden burst of motion cut through the page with real urgency

sad that she knew Paula was an elemental like her and Swamp Thing

In the background

with Perkins' typically excellent use of ink

completely unaware of the terrorist threat and completely unable to try and save themselves

The page that follows that

and you can feel the weight of the situation just from the way Perkins shapes the blacks across his face

The arrival at the looming Gotham building shifts the mood instantly

tearing across the page in a blur of motion

For collectors
