Batgirl!

In Batman Confidential issues #17-21, Batgirl is the main character in 'The Bat and The Cat' storyline, one of my modern favorites. Before teaming up with Catwoman, the two clash, winding up with a semi-'revealing' costume for Barbara Gordon.

I met the artist Kevin Maguire a year ago, and mentioned how I loved his art from those books (he also did an ASM #1 variant cover last year, which I thought was the best of the bunch that came out). Was thinking at that time a Batgirl art piece would be really cool. Finally met him again at NYCC Special Edition last weekend, and asked him to do a recreation of Batgirl on a comic!

Being an artist myself, I had a couple minor requests regarding color highlights, and Kevin was kind enough to do it. What great art! Looks a little more 3-D than the printed comic version .

Here's a pic before he signed it, and before it went off for grading-

My 1st colored sketch cover.

Enjoy!
