As revealed exclusively by Collider, Mondo Gallery is celebrating “80 Years of Batman” with a history-spanning gallery launching in May 2019. This gallery will see 18 classic Batman comic book cover images produced as screen-printed posters, marking the first time Mondo has given their limited edition screen-print treatment to classic comic artwork. 

Along with tracking the career of the caped crusader, this gallery will also features his various allies and iconic members of his rogues gallery. Among the 18 covers available is Detective Comics #27, Detective Comics #367, Batman #251, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, and A Death in the Family.

“For most of my life I’ve been enamored with Batman. His rogues. His world. His look. It’s just about as perfect as you can get,” said Eric Garza, Mondo Creative Director. “It wasn’t until I was a bit older that I became enthralled with the artists who have lent their talents to drawing old Bats. From campy pulp detective to hardened Dark Knight, so many brilliant artists have added to the allure and majesty of the Caped Crusader. To celebrate 80 monumental years and the incredible comics legacy of the Batman, we’ve mined the Batcave for our favorite and most iconic Batman comic book covers. We are proud to share them with the world as beautifully produced screen-printed posters. Long live the Bat.”

The “80 Years of Batman” show opens Friday, May 12 and will run through Saturday, May 25. Following the opening night on Friday from 7 PM to 10 PM, the show will be open during regular gallery hours – 12 PM to 6 PM, Tuesday to Saturday. The Mondo Gallery is located at 4115 Guadalupe Street in Austin, Texas.
