And while Egghead made a cameo appearance way back in 1992 in “Shadow of the Bat” #2-3, King Tut – who was the main villain on “Batman” five times, more than any other villain created specifically for the show -- has never appeared in comics. But that all changes on February 11, 2009 when the regal rogue makes his DC Comics debut in “Batman Confidential” #26.
Have we reached a point in comics that we have to reach back to a 1960s TV show for inspiration? I suppose this is a small symptom of the problem that caused me to stop reading almost all Batman comics.
That said, it's gonna have be-yew-tiful art:
Written by the dynamic duo of Christina Weir and Nunzio DeFilippis, the issue featues artwork by industry legends Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez and Kevin Nowlan, and kicks off a three-part arc telling the tale of King Tut’s first visit to Gotham.
yes comics is an art form unto itself but the actors who played egghead and tut are famous. tut was a sword and sandals character actor among others and vincent price was egghead. batman is many things jcarp
