I have already mentioned Joe Kubert as a writer-artist for DC’s version of Tarzan. Frank Robbins usually wrote the Batman in Detectice Comics (as well as Batman), but in some issues he handled the art duties as well. Robbins gave the Caped Crusader a rather unique, almost harsh look, especially when you remember that Neal Adams and Dick Giordano (especially Adams) had already established a ‘clean,’ action-oriented Batman that, if one discounts the look produced by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson (whose influence, especially in storyline, I confess not to particualry like, even if I admire their work), after being solidified by Jim Aparo, pretty much endures even now. Here are Adams and Giordano sharing art duties.
Compare them to Robbins’ Batman:
Robbins’ art is much more noir, I suppose, which is in keeping with his writing. Considering these styles occur only issues apart at times, however, it can be rather jolting switching from one to another and back again.
