This Tuesday, we return to our precious longboxes and pull some modern day Batman bangers from Rafael Grampá, and a J.H. Williams III classic. We’re also joining Finn and Jake alongside artist Mike McGee!

We’ve been big fans of Brazilian comics artist Rafael Grampá since 2014’s Mesmo Delivery, and we’re stoked to supersize two of our favorite Grampá Batman covers, Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham Noir Edition (Book Two) and The Batman’s Grave #8. Rafael’s work is kinetic, full of texture, and often brutal. Whether it’s his dark, more-Batman-than-Bruce-Wayne take on the Caped Crusader, or an action-packed portrait, Rafael’s work always brings out the best of these beloved characters.

J.H. Williams III’s cover art for 2000’s Son of Superman has stayed with us for decades. While J.H. would go on to refine a cosmically insane free-flowing painterly style, this SoS cover art is minimalistic brilliance. J.H.’s cover is triumphant, hopeful, and bright–everything we love about Superman.

Mike McGee takes us to the Land of Ooo with his newest print for Adventure Time! Mike has assembled the gang in all of their glory with his mathematical ode to Finn, Jake, Bubblegum Princess, Marceline, Pep-But, and so many other colorful characters from distant lands.

All of these prints will be available for purchase on Tuesday (10/8) @ 12PM ET, on our homepage, Bottleneckgallery.com!

John Buscema’s cover for Wolverine #8 pays homage to the dynamic duo of Patches and Mr. Fixit aka Joe Fixit aka Grey Hulk, and it’s one of the more fun classic covers! John’s storied career in comics speaks for itself, and we love how this cover radiates cool with two alternative aliases for some of our favorite heroes.

Frank Miller and Daredevil were a powerful combination for years, and we’re stoked to bring the legend’s art to our screen print series. Daredevil #189’s cover is an all-timer, featuring Matt amid a flurry of The Hand’s sharpest weapons and fighters. And in true Daredevil fashion, Matt’s barreling headfirst into the fray, ready to go to hell and back. Frank’s work really shines in this cover!

And last, but not least, we’ve got a DC cover from the unstoppable Jim Lee. Jim’s covers, both new and old, are always a highlight and his work on Wonder Woman #1 is no exception. Diana looks majestic and powerful, and her Lasso of Truth has never looked better.

All of these prints will be available TODAY @ 12PM ET on our homepage!

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.

As a BBUX Member, you have exclusive access to the presale by clicking on the button below and entering the password listed. Quantities are limited.

The general sale is on Tuesday (7/15) @ 12PM ET on our homepage.

Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta’s Absolute Batman series has been an absolute blast from its inception. Featuring a wildly inventive new take on Batman’s mythos and all of the elements surrounding it, Absolute Batman sees Bruce Wayne as an absolute unit of a person, young, lacking much money, but ready to stomp out crime with his physical prowess and technical know-how. For the first issue, so many of our favorite artists took a crack at depicting the new Batman and his trusty axe, and we’re proud to present Jim Lee’s undeniably metal variant cover as an impressive screen print!

We’re Absolutely thrilled to close out the week with Nick Dragotta’s unforgettable cover art for Absolute Batman #1!

Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta’s Absolute Batman series has been a blast from its inception. Featuring a wildly inventive new take on Batman’s mythos and all of the elements surrounding it, Absolute Batman sees Bruce Wayne as an absolute unit of a person, young, lacking much money, but ready to stomp out crime with his physical prowess and technical know-how.

Nick’s original cover art for Absolute Batman #1 is already iconic, and we’re proud to be able to present it as a screen print for the first time ever. We also crafted up Diorama and Multi-Layer Acrylic editions using various tech we found around the Bottlecave.

We’re teaming up with the caped comic connoisseurs over at Felix Comic Art for a special release! Felix Comic Art is a small and passionate family/team of folks and they’ve been repping and selling original art for some of the best artists in comics for quite some time. We worked with Felix and Nick Dragotta to bring the previously sold out, and exclusive, variant cover to Absolute Batman #1 to the screen print medium as a super-sized print!

Absolute Batman sees Bruce Wayne as an absolute unit of a person, young, lacking much money, but ready to stomp out crime with his physical prowess and technical know-how. Nick’s variant cover features an awesomely in-depth breakdown of Absolute Batman’s stellar suit, its nifty features, and of course, the axe! To make this release even BIGGER, we’ll have an edition of the print signed by Nick Dragotta, as well as a heavy metal aluminum edition.
