New BATMAN & DOC SAVAGE SPECIAL Hits Stores Tomorrow!

OH YEAH! The New BATMAN & DOC SAVAGE SPECIAL Comic Book hits stores on November 11th, 2009 & I could not be more excited! Everything I have seen on this looks totally great & it's really wonderful that DC Comics is trying to bring back a "Film Noir" style to some of their books. In other words, if this book is successful, then we will be seeing a lot more pulp novel characters from the Golden Age! But back to this book, ha ha! Here's sort-of what the DC Comics website has to say about it:

Doc Savage returns to DC Comics and comes face-to-fist with the Batman! Superstar Writer Brian Azzarello ( The Recent Highly-Acclaimed JOKER Graphic Novel ) and the breathtaking art of Phil Noto combine to shine the first light on a shadowy new version of the DC Universe, where the thugs run rampant, corruption runs deep, and even heroes can't be trusted! Doc Savage, the Man of Bronze, hates what he's heard about the connections between a grisly murder and Gotham City's violent new vigilante. But the Batman can't abide do-gooders getting in his way…and his .45 just won't stay in its holster!

Be here for this vital prologue to an upcoming 6-issue miniseries by Azzarello and Rags Morales (IDENTITY CRISIS), which will pull back the curtain to reveal the full width and breadth of DC's new pulp-influenced universe. This special issue also features sketchbook material by Rags Morales that will show you just what you're in for! You might think you're ready – but you're very, very wrong…

Remember, you'll be able to buy this comic book's 1st Issue with 2 different covers: a Regular Cover ( 1st photo - Art By JG Jones ) & a Special Variant Cover ( 2nd photo - Art by Rags Morales ). Also, be sure to check out DC's THE SOURCE to see a few preview pages by clicking HERE!

BATMAN / DOC SAVAGE SPECIAL #1 Variant Cover & DESKTOP WALLPAPER

OK, I guess I gotta explain this post a little bit. Basically DC Comics ( or is it now DC Entertainment? ) is gonna come out with a special series on November 11th that will feature an extremely classic character from the Golden Ages...DOC SAVAGE! The cool thing is that he teams up with Batman. I bet the angle will be, "Is he a good guy? or a Villain?" Now this character has been around a very long time & if you've ever visited any used book store then you have probably seen all the paperbacks they did in the 1970's. As a Vintage Book & Toy Dealer I have had a lot of these & they ALWAYS sell, they're just really popular. Doc Savage Fans are really loyal to this guy. Now I gotta admit that I have never read one of his pulp books but plan to the next chance I get. He just seems like such a cool character. Anyways, sorry I lost focus ( ha ha! ) but DC will be releasing the BATMAN / DOC SAVAGE SPECIAL #1 that will be a prologue to an upcoming 6-issue miniseries. It will be written by Brian Azzarello ( THE JOKER Graphic Novel ), Art by Phil Noto ( Famous for Pin-Ups & the current Batgirl covers ), Sketchbook material and variant cover by Rags Morales ( His variant cover artwork shown here in black & white inks ), & the regular cover will be by JG Jones which I have made into a BATMAN / DOC SAVAGE Desktop Wallpaper you can enjoy now! As a side-note I would like to know what Bat-Blog Readers think about this so please be sure to leave some comments down below. Like, are you totally excited about this?!
