MARSHALL ROGERS
BRIGHTEST DAYS & DARKEST KNIGHTS
by JEFF MESSER and DEWEY CASSELL
From underdog to icon, MARSHALL ROGERS helped redefine Batman for generations, inspiring readers and up-and-coming artists alike. Initially savaged by editors at DC Comics, his style was uniquely complex with vast and angular architectural design anchoring his storytelling, and it immediately caught on with fans for his depictions of the Darknight Detective, Hugo Strange, The Joker, Silver St. Cloud, Dr. Strange, Cap’n Quick and a Foozle, and more. And though his output was relatively small in comparison to many of his contemporaries, his impact outlived the artist himself, and inspired a loyal following and affection. Now, Rogers’ story is told by friends, collaborators, and family members, delving deep into a complicated and conflicted man and his art, as we feature inker TERRY AUSTIN, friend and fellow artist MICHAEL NETZER, DAN GREENFIELD’s extensive interview with writer STEVE ENGLEHART (conducted for 13thDimension.com), and others recounting their time and camaraderie with Rogers, alongside an in-depth interview with MARSHALL HIMSELF, and a wealth of art both familiar and rarely seen. Written by JEFF MESSER and DEWEY CASSELL (authors of the Eisner Award-nominated Mike Grell: Life Is Drawing Without An Eraser), this book shines a light on the fan-favorite artist’s brightest moments and darkest days. Featuring a new cover collaboration by MARSHALL ROGERS and TERRY AUSTIN! (144-page FULL-COLOR HARDCOVER) $37.95 • (Digital Edition) $13.99 • ISBN: 978-1-60549-130-1 SHIPS JUNE 2025!
