Copenhagen studio "Over Floden" celebrates The Batman's 70th birthday

[cav]

Here, at Studio Over Floden in Copenhagen, we’re celebrating Batman’s 70th anniversary. Though every comic book buff knows the Caped Crusader debuted in Detective Comics #27, labelled “May 1939″, we’ve been informed that the issue actually hit the newsstands on April 18th (mind you, we ARE aware that the ACTUAL first picture of Batman appeared in a house ad in Action Comics #12). During the last eight days, each of Studio Over Floden’s members has made a daily salute to the Dark Knight, and as a special service to our international readers, here’s the complete linkage:

Awesome! I think the one by Thomas Thorhauge is my favorite. They all look great.

Yeah, Thorhauge's is my own favorite as well. It's a cool little homage to the John Wayne film The Searchers!

The celebration got very well recieved around the comics blogosphere, both Newsarama and The Comics Reporter shared the link. That's the first time one of my drawings have found its way to the american comics community, so I was pretty stoked about that.

Thanks for checking it out!
