BERMEJO AND BATMAN: AN ICON DRAWS AN ICON. What happens when a comics art powerhouse meets one of the greatest, most exciting heroes of all time? One part prestige art book, one part compelling noir tale, this one-of-a-kind edition collects some of Lee Bermejo's most jaw-dropping Batman covers woven together to tell a story that strikes right at the heart of the Dark Knight's never-ending crusade.
Batman: Dear Detective is for any fan of the comic book medium as it relies on the art telling the story with some incredibly detailed and beautiful images from Lee Bermejo. This whole book is a reason why he's regarded as one of the best artists in the industry and someone to pay attention to when he's announced on a Batmanproject. Read Full Review

Why does Bermejo seem to fit the Batman universe so well? He certainly seems to get the best out of darkness in his images. Also, his realistic style suits a character without superpowers dressed in a uniform slugging it out with grotesque versions of psychopathy – a fact he clearly understands in the way he's written the letter in Dear Detective. Either way we should all be happy that he's made a home for himself here. Read Full Review
The ending is clever, a message about just who Batman's ultimate villain is. But while it's an interesting experiment, it never quite sells me as a comic. Read Full Review
Flip through it before buying it so that you know what you’re paying $8 for. It is great art.
So it is a $7.99 plus tax USD for a picture book...Yeah not worth it.
