Two-Face commission by John Byrne. 2013.
John also had this to say about Two-Face.

Don’t know if I have mentioned recently that Twoface is actually my favorite Batman villain. Something about his personal tragedy (minus the absurd psychobabble and coincidences shoveled in by later, cliché obsessed writers) touched a chord in my young brain. Didn’t hurt that the first Twoface story I read (actually a reprint, tho I did not know that at the time) was drawn by Dick Sprang!

"For months I have been promoting John’s current series Doomsday.1 with images and details just like I did with The High Ways before that. Would someone who hates John do all that?" truth be told man, i never would have even known those two series existed if not for this tumblr. i ended up really enjoying THE HIGH WAYS and now i'm looking forward to DOOMSDAY.1 :)

I really appreciate that, thank you. I noticed that sometimes people on John’s website would be surprised when a new book of his came out. I figured if they could miss out on hearing news, then people who don’t even know John has a website could easily miss out.

In this day and age I believe Tumblr and Twitter are the best ways to promote your work and to find new, interesting things to read. As an example it is only through Tumblr that I learned how kick ass Captain Marvel, written by Kelly Sue DeConnick is.

Frustrating Day

This morning I read a message from a follower saying my Tumblr was mentioned at John Byrne’s forum. Right after I read that, I read another message from the same follower to say the post was already deleted. Not the first time that has happened, won’t be the last I am sure.

Sigh
