Graphic Ink: The DC Comics Art of Frank Quitely #[nn]
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.
