Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? By Neil Gaiman and Illustrated by Andy Kubert

Batman by Neil GaimanI will confess, this is the first Batman graphic novel I have read and the reason was because it was Neil Gaiman’s Batman.

Thus I cannot compare it to other Batman’s, but I thought it had the same surreal dream state of his Sandman series. Batman attends his own funeral (or at least it appears that way) along with his dearest friends and deadliest enemies. Each of them gives quite a different eulogy of the Cape Crusaders life, and death. As the Dark Knight hears the contradictory tales, he must determine the truth for himself.

Amazing story telling that pares perfectly with the bold and macabre illustrations. Then the bonus material is chalked full of that Gaiman dry sense of humor that I love so well.

Fall Foilage

Playing around with the camera in our front and back yard trying out a a few pointers I have picked up in the CreativeTechs online photography class with John Greengo. Excellent class, I have learned a lot even with having a point and shoot camera. Perhaps one day I will be able to afford an SLR. Dare to dream...of lenses.


No Photoshop was done on these next two photos, the color change was done with lowering the shutter speed and aperture.
