The 1982 DC Comics Style Guide is now online and complete. This is some really stunning artwork. Those were the days. I wish we saw more of this style today. The style guide features many character designs, color guides and model sheets. These were all used for marketing and licensing and they also served as a reference for the artists. You have probably seen some of these images on merchandise. Dick Giordano inked all of the figures in the original guide, while Todd Klein inked all of the logos and many of the backgrounds seen in the guide. I love them all, but this era Batman really looks awesome.

Check out the entire Style Guide. Dick Giordano inked all of the figures in the original guide, while he himself inked all of the logos and many of the backgrounds.
