☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis academic volume examines the work of Frank Quitely through the lens of Scottish identity, analyzing his distinctive artistic style and its cultural context within the superhero genre. Part of the 'Studies in European Comics and Graphic Novels' series, it explores Quitely's contributions to DC Comics, including his runs on All-Star Superman, Batman and Robin, and JLA: Earth 2, while considering how his Scottish background informs his visual storytelling and character designs. The collection features characters such as Superman, Batman, and the New Gods, offering critical insights into Quitely's influential career.
In "The Physicist and the Flying Saucers," Alan Grant and Frank Quitely deliver a striking blend of mystery and the uncanny, as Batman’s investigation into a series of shattered tombstones draws dangerous attention, leading to a targeted assault on Bruce Wayne. With the trail pointing to Rosslyn Chapel and whispers of a buried treasure, the detective’s pursuit takes a surreal turn—set against Quitely’s moody, intricately detailed art and layered coloring by Hollingsworth and Matthew. The cover by Frank Quitely captures the story’s eerie, enigmatic tone in bold, shadowed strokes.
In "Chapter Two: The Templar Mystery," Bruce Wayne finds himself drawn into a cryptic mystery after the sudden destruction of ancient tombstones. With danger closing in and a trail leading to Rosslyn Chapel, he ventures into the heart of a centuries-old secret—where every clue brings him closer to a threat he can't yet see.
In "Chapter Three: The Plague Man," Batman tracks down the same thugs who attacked him to a secluded chapel, only to find them confronted by a cloaked figure in a plague mask guarding a mysterious tablet. The tension mounts as Batman’s pursuit leads to a chilling standoff, but the true nature of the tablet—and the man behind the mask—remains shrouded in mystery.
In "Batman Reborn, Part One: Domino Effect," Batman and Robin chase Mr. Toad through Gotham’s shadowed streets, only to find his payment isn’t cash—but a stack of dominoes. As the trail leads deeper into chaos, Pyg’s grip tightens on Niko and Sasha, their fate hanging in the balance.
