Celebrating Artist Mike Grell

Celebrating the birthday of artist Mike Grell (September 13, 1947), with a look at his Batman covers from the 1970s.

Better known for his work with the Legion of Super-Heroes, Green Lantern and Green Arrow, "Iron Mike" did do a small batch of work on Batman at the time with two 2 issues battles (one facing the Penguin, the other against Skull Dugger)...but, his commitment to his new series, the Warlord, stopped Grell from having a longer run on the series.
