80th Anniversary Masks Featuring Catwoman And Joker Are Coming To Comic-Book Stores

Article by Steve J. Ray
Catwoman and the Joker will celebrate 80 years in comics very soon. Not only are DC celebrating the event with bumper comics, fans will also get to wear 80th anniversary masks featuring iconic versions of the characters. Artist Ryan Sook has recreated visages from the DC archives, based on illustrations by some of comics’ all time great Joker and Catwoman illustrators, for fans to pick and choose from… or to track down and collect the complete set!
Here’s the full press release, direct from DC:
80 years ago, The Joker and Catwoman both made their comic book debut in 1940’s Batman #1. To celebrate the longevity of these fan-favorite and globally recognized characters, timed to The Joker 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1 and Catwoman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1 this April, some of the most iconic looks of DC’s original rogues will be captured in a series of 80th anniversary masks with punch-out die-cut eyes by artist extraordinaire Ryan Sook.
Sook’s ability to perfectly chameleon the art style of Bruce Timm’s Catwoman and The Joker from Batman: The Animated Series along with replicating the iconic versions of Catwoman by Jim Aparo, Darwyn Cooke and Joëlle Jones as well as The Joker by Neal Adams, Frank Miller and Greg Capullo will provide fans with a fun way to participate in 80th Anniversary celebrations at their local comic book stores. Shops selling either The Joker or Catwoman 80th Anniversary will be able to deliver instant cosplay to customers arriving in their shops looking for these highly collectible issues.
Which Joker’s face will you wear this April for #TheJoker80? And which iconic image of Catwoman will you use to celebrate #Catwoman80?

Fantastic Universes Interview: Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz From 'The Walking Dead'

Image
Interview panel led by Steve J. Ray, with a gathering of Comic/TV Media Journalists. I've spoken to some amazing people over the last couple of years; writers, artists, costume designers, and actors from some of my favorite TV shows. It's no secret that I'm a huge comic-book fan, and one of the TV series that's based on and inspired by a comics title - but has gone on to be so much more - is The Walking Dead . At a recent Comic-Con in London, I had the great opportunity of leading a panel where some fellow journalists and I spoke with Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz, three siblings who played Sophia and both iterations of Henry on the show. The eldest, Madison Lintz (born 1999) played Sophia Peletier - Carol's daughter - in the first two seasons. She's also well known for playing Maddie Bosch in the Amazon series Bosch . She started acting at the age of six, filming commercials and voice-overs. Matthew (born 2001) took over the role of Henry from ...
