Detective Comics #518 - Don Newton art

Detective Comics #518

Detective Comics v1 #518, 1982 - Batman recovers from a previous battle, Vicki Vale closes in on his secret identity, and Deadshot returns for another assassination attempt. As usual, Don Newton's splash page is superbly drawn and composed. From there, his illustrations begin to atrophy under Bruce Patterson's inks. The execution is stiff and confining, taking out the spontaneity of the original pencils. With the exception of a few scenes (including the interior page below), Newton's hand is largely unrecognizable. Other artists in this copper age comic include Trevor Von Eeden. Cover by Jim Aparo. This is 34 of 39 Detective Comics issues by Newton.
