This is an ad and a poster for the BFI Southbank (British Film Institute) in London for their series of comic-book and graphic novel related films. In the end their in-house designers are required to insert the text so it'll look different in the final print. I also supplied the BFI with files of the same image with the colors changed and a couple with the color left completely flat, so they may choose a different color scheme.

I've just completed my own re-coloring of the Killing Joke for a 20th anniversary hardback edition of that book. DC techno-wizard, Jeb Woodard, provided me with line files of the original 46 pages - without John Higgins' original colors - and I set about re-doing them the way I always intended them. Back in 1987 John worked in inks using a "blue line" process, something that would have been a huge job to me. I'm grateful that he rescued me at the time but his choice of colors were not mine. This time round I used Photoshop on a computer and I'm pleased with the results.

While I had the black and white line files on screen it was easy to work on them a bit. Most of the pages have a few changes here and there. Sometimes it's a few lines. Sometimes it's a completely re- drawn face - as in this scene of Barbara Gordon. Her original face from 20 years ago was pretty terrible. There's at least one figure that wasn't even there first time round. Think of this as a Spot-the difference book and see if you can see the changes.

This new edition also contains my "An Innocent Guy" story from Batman: Black & White #4 and I colored it up for the first time. The original artwork was intended to be printed in black and white and had a lot of Letratone (Zipatone) stuck all over it. Jeb had someone meticulously paint that all out so I could replace it with color. I'm pleased with all 54 pages. The book should be out in March.
