Batman Comics Online
Comic books offer unusual opportunities for collaboration, and artist
Tim Sale has paired with writer Jeph Loeb on numerous single issue
comics and longer graphic novels featuring Batman, Superman, Grendel,
Daredevil, Catwoman, and the Hulk. Sale is the artist for these efforts,
and—amazingly—he is colorblind. His work features dramatic use of light
and shadow, and he has challenged the traditional conceptions of Batman
and Superman—and their villainous adversaries—in such longer works as Batman: The Long Halloween and Superman for All Seasons.
Loeb's stories allow for maximum impact of the artwork, and so Sale has
earned a wide following for his sometimes unique take on superheroes.Born in New York, Sale grew up reading Marvel Comics, an irony since
the vast majority of his work is for rival publisher DC Comics. He
studied art in college in the Pacific Northwest, and he took a brief
course on comic book art with John Buscema in New York. Sale took his
time becoming deeply involved in the business. For some years he drew
his art privately, only to please himself. When he found himself working
at a fast-food taco stand in his late twenties, however, he decided to
try to sell some work.
