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.
