Tripwire X 10 Cover

Batman by Ashley Wood

As the British comics magazine, Tripwire, prepared to relaunch under a new team, (including award-winning artist Ashley Wood as Art Director), an Anniversay book was published featuring the best articles from the first ten years.

Many new pieces were created for the book, not least of which was this stunning oil painting by Ash of Batman. I bought this from Ash direct, and he believes it to be one of his best paintings. I have to agree.
