RIP Norm Breyfogle

[gothosmansion]

In my opinion, with writer Alan Grant, Breyfogle was half of the last great Batman team.

He was a great guy, hung with him a bit in the '90s. Sad to see him gone, but sadder still to have it happen at such a young age.

Rest in peace, Norm!

I loved your art. Just fantastic renditions of Batman. I must say, the Alan Grant/Norm Breyfogle team on Detective was one of my favorite runs, new weird villains, a relentless Batman who may get beaten down but comes back even stronger all throughout a horror atmosphere.

I didn't quite enjoy their work as much on Batman and Shadow of the Bat though I did like some of it.

Also I enjoyed their Anarky miniseries and the short lived series itself.

Here's an interesting interview with both Norm and Alan:

Back to his art, just amazingly moody and expressive Batman drawings, very dynamic poses, a mix of detail and cartoony, some mesh of the two that worked perfectly. What an artist!

Shouldn't this be in the main bat topic since it's Batman related?

As much as he was an amazing artist, alas it is not 1966 Batman TV show related. So, no.

Oh well.

I was just looking at some of his issues of Detective Comics and marveling at his sense of design. What a unique artist.
