We’re starting off the week with a big, bloody smile from comics legend Jock!
Jock’s iconic cover for Detective Comics #880–an issue from the beginning of Scott Snyder’s tremendous and ongoing Batman work–has been one of our favorite comic covers since its release in 2011. Featuring a hauntingly toothy portrait of Joker that’s partially formed from bats, the cover is a masterwork that acts as both a clever ode to the bat-obsessed clown, as well as a powerful piece that showcases the horror and lunacy behind Batman’s greatest villain.
Recently, Jock’s original inks for the cover recently sold for a whopping $288,000 at auction, from the buyer who originally purchased the art from Jock a while ago, so we wanted to revisit the piece with Jock and bring a unique spin to it. We’re proud to present Framed Diorama and Multi-Layer Acrylic editions of Jock’s Detective Comics #880 artwork, lovingly recrafted from Jock’s original art.
Jock’s Joker editions will be available on Tuesday (7/15) @ 12PM ET on our homepage, Bottleneckgallery.com!
