☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis academic volume examines the work of Frank Quitely through the lens of Scottish identity, analyzing his distinctive artistic style and its cultural context within the superhero genre. Part of the 'Studies in European Comics and Graphic Novels' series, it explores Quitely's contributions to DC Comics, including his runs on All-Star Superman, Batman and Robin, and JLA: Earth 2, while considering how his Scottish background informs his visual storytelling and character designs. The collection features characters such as Superman, Batman, and the New Gods, offering critical insights into Quitely's influential career.
In "The Physicist and the Flying Saucers," Alan Grant and Frank Quitely deliver a striking blend of mystery and the uncanny, as Batman’s investigation into a series of shattered tombstones draws dangerous attention, leading to a targeted assault on Bruce Wayne. With the trail pointing to Rosslyn Chapel and whispers of a buried treasure, the detective’s pursuit takes a surreal turn—set against Quitely’s moody, intricately detailed art and layered coloring by Hollingsworth and Matthew. The cover by Frank Quitely captures the story’s eerie, enigmatic tone in bold, shadowed strokes.
