Celebrating Batman Artist David Mazzucchelli

Celebrating the birthday of artist David Mazzuchelli (September 21, 1960) with a look at some of his strongest (and most reprinted) work, Batman: Year One.

With writer Frank Miller, David gave us a down and dirty view of Gotham, and the origins of the Batman, with Bruce Wayne figuring out how he was going to save the city, dressed as a bat, while contending with an unjust police force (except for recent transfer, James Gordon), and encounters with Selina Kyle (who was headed on her way to be Catwoman).
