Tim first came to prominence aping Jim Lee aping Frank Miller on Deathblow,
but soon developed his own unique style. His work with Jeph Loeb on
Batman: The Long Halloween and A Superman for All Seasons propelled him to
the top of the sales charts.

[Carmine Falcone]

That pic with the vulture of Spider-man is very cool, thanks for posting that Cobb :up:

[Carmine Falcone]

His HULK looks amazing too

[JStorm]

Tim Sale.................amazing. Good with marvel, amazing with DC. I love the way the joker is drawn..............perfect.
Storm

[Carmine Falcone]

Robin may come yet, but I have no idea.

I have seen The Hatter, and it's great. Have done a design for catwoman, but haven't seen any sculpting yet. The next designs they want from me are:

Police Disguise Batman
Riddler
Scarecrow
Robin
Young Commish Gordon

The first is Batman at the end of Long Haloween, the last just my regular version of Gordon, not the on ein current continuity

I got this from the forum of www.timsale1.com From the man himself. :)

JSorm I agree that the way Joker is drawn is amazing but Bolland's Joker is the perfect Joker IMO

Here is a pic of Sale's Joker

[Hush]

i never liked him till i got TLH for christmas and i was like damn this art kicks ass

Where's that from? I've only seen Sale draw in Y0 continuity. Regardless, that pic is amazing.

[BatJeff7786]

Tim Sale & Jeph Loeb should be forced to write every single Batman comic from now on.

[Carmine Falcone]

I think he just drew that for fun, It is not for a comic he made.

I LOVE that picture, I printed it out and put it a list which hangs on the wall of my room :up:

[Carmine Falcone]

I just asked Tim Sale himself if he would ever make another Batman comic together with Jeph loeb. When he replies you'll hear it.

EDIT; YES!

TS:--Yes. How's that? Thanks for liking our Mr Freeze, but I would argue that Bruce Timm's version rules. As does most everything Mr Timm does

CF; awesome.
could you some spoil some little details please? Or isn't a story set yet?

TS: No, nothing's set for sure. At some point there will be a coffee table sized book, 220 pages, with alternating chapters of Batman and Superman, the Batman pages done in black and white wash, the Superman ones done FOR ALL SEASONS style. If they'll let me, I'll aways want to come back and draw Batman no matter what takes me away for a while.
alternating chapters, each 11 pages long, sharing a specific subject. Like: food...Batman eating some s##t in capsule form from his utility belt, Superman going back to Kansas for Ma's apple pie. No plot, just what makes these guys what they are.

I'm really excited to do it, but not sure when it will happen.

[Captain_Obvious]

I'm reading Catwoman-When in Rome and its pretty good so far...I'm glad Sale draws her nearly naked in each issue :up:

[X]

Great artist. I love his style. :up:

[hey yo its sean]

I really can't say anything about Sale that hasn't already been said. He produces amazing work.

Is it just me, or does anyone else get a Sin City vibe when looking at Sale-drawn Batman photos?

[Hush]

did anyone else when they picked up the long halloween look at the art at first and was like this is ok? then get like 3 pages in and just get floored you know your good when you can do that. i got a godfather vibe the entire time i read the book mixed with a batman vibe . my 2 favorite things in the world so it works out i guess.

[Carmine Falcone]

I saw some artwork from TLH and DV and I thought it was great, when I read them I thought the art was friggin amazing.

[-rc2k-]

He's a great artist. Met him in person at SDCC last year, nice guy :up:

Yeah, same here. I remember not being interested in TLH at first (silly me), but as soon as a saw Bruce Wayne, looking out the window, I knew this guy was a genuis.

That idea sounds neat. I'd love to see Sale do some Alex Ross stuff--in the sense that the stories' out of continuity, like an All-Star hardback.

[Supermaniac]

Tim Sale + Batman = Perfection.

I love Sale's work especially when he draws Batman and all related characters. When you see his version of the Dark Knight you just think to yourself 'Damn this truly is what hes supposed to look like'... well at least thats what i think anyway. The man is a friggin genius. nuff said.

[Motown Marvel]

not only is he an amazing artist...but he's also great in the sack!

[The Riddler]

not only is he an amazing artist...but he's also great in the sack!

:) :up:

[avisciciulli]

There's so much about Sale's art that makes it great. He's got a great mastery of lighting techniques...I love how all the work looks timeless. There's a good influence of 40's sort of looking print and artwork, and he can integrate newer looking designs and structures into without looking forced. A lot of artists may be great at anatomical correctness, but lousy at backgrounds and it stands out like a sore thumb. Sale's one of the few artists that really has a vocabulary that is all his own and can incorporate a lot of different things in and *make it* his own. That's fairly rare. Especially as his style is sort of main stream. It isn't like Frank Miller, or Mike Mignola, who both have some of the same attributes.

[Carmine Falcone]

Wow, it is cool to see how much people love Sale like me. That is why I made this thread.

I can't wait to get Haunted Knight :( I will ask my comicshop if they can order it for me. I gotta have it.

[Jack Rabbit]

There's talk of him coming to my local comic shop soon. Aparently his son or nephew or something shops there frequently.

[I AM THE NIGHT]

yes tim sale rules, but can someone tell me why there are so many spidey pics here given the plethora of batman peices he's created?

[Hunter Rider]

Tim Sale=Awesome,he is the artist on my favourite Batman book TLH and i also own DD yellow and dark victory and am after Haunted Knight and superman fopr all seasons.His art is stylish yet subtle.

[Supermaniac]

Batman Haunted Knight was fairly good but i dont think it was as good as The Long Halloween. I still have to buy Dark Victory but from what i've heard its not as good as TLH but i'm buying it anyway because how can i go wrong Tim Sale and Jeph Loeb have yet to dissapoint me.

[Carmine Falcone]

SuperManiac you really really should buy Dv because it is amazing, I read it again recently and I think it is better than TLH because it has cooler villains and a great climax.

I still need to get Haunted Knight, I'll ask the owner of my local comicshop or she can order it for me SOON. I really like the HK cover Hunter Rider posted.

Does any of you guys have HULK:GREY? Is it good?

[Hunter Rider]

nice stuff CF:up: you know the haunted knight cover i posted ? It's the first time ive seen it when i found it today,I wonder if it's from the TPB

[Carmine Falcone]

Yes I believe it is from the TPB but there are other covers too:

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1563892731.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

ME WANTS IT!

[Hunter Rider]

yeah thats the cover ive found when searching before,I kind of like them both,the one i posted is more in line with the DV cover but the one you just posted treminds me of TLH,I must get that book:mad:


btw you got any of his spidey work ?

[Carmine Falcone]

He draws a sweet Goblin:

http://img12.exs.cx/img12/6425/goblin4jo.jpg

[Hunter Rider]

He does indeed:up: i love the washed out shades in his work

[Carmine Falcone]

No I don't have any of his Spidey work but my comicshop has Spider-MAN Blue HC, I'll buy that :up:

[Hunter Rider]

certainly a book i would get if i could find it:(

[Carmine Falcone]

I'm planning on getting Hulk Grey too, do you have it?

[Hunter Rider]

I'm planning on getting Hulk Grey too, do you have it?
no,i just have TLH,DV and DD yellow,the others or on my want list

[Carmine Falcone]

Daredevil Yellow, Hulk Grey, Spider-man Blue and Batman Haunted Knight are on my wish list. :D:up:

[Hunter Rider]

a worthy list indeed my friend,:up: :up:

[Motown Marvel]

haunted knight is okay....it's actually probably my least favorite from sale/loeb. considering all the other work they've done together, it doesnt stand up as well.

i actually have every single book that jeph loeb and tim sale have done together! WOO HOO! including that SOLO #1, which i hope everyone picked up when it came out.

[Carmine Falcone]

SOLO? right I heard about it but I don't know the fine details.what exactly is it?

[Motown Marvel]

its a monthly book, where each issue is dedicated to displaying the talents of a certain artist. like, issue one was tim sale. so its full of short stories from different writers (including loeb) all of which are illustrated by tim sale. issue two, i believe, was richard corben....?

Yea I got that book like last month I think, pretty sweet art in this book :up: 40 pages, can't go wrong!

http://www.dccomics.com/media/covers/2111_400x600.jpg

[Jack Rabbit]

SOLO was most definitely awesome.:up:

Daredevil Yellow was great, but I was somewhat dissapointed as far as Spider-Man Blue went.:(

[The Riddler]

http://www.comix-shop.co.uk/graphics/next-gen-graphics/cutouts/spidy-03.gif

this is not sale's spidey.

[Motown Marvel]

this is not sale's spidey.

i was thinking the same thing...looks like humberto ramos.

[Carmine Falcone]

It's a cool pic anyways...:o

[Cobblepot]

Hmm, I have that one saved on my computer for a while now.
I always thought that it was sale, but I had my little doubts.
Because of the head.

[-rc2k-]

[CConn]

oh I'd so titty **** Sale's batman

:o:up:

[sinewave]

I appreciate Sale's art in terms of atmosphere and the cool film noir look. He does that kind of art very well. Having said that, I can't stand the way he draws Batman. I hate that he never draws lips on him and his ears are waaaayyy too long. And he's not the most consistent artist, just look at Batman's chest logo, it always looks like some little kid drew it for him. I'm not posting this to piss anybody off. The man is talented. I just think he's a little overrated. All that aside, that statue's pretty cool looking. Good pose!

hey, the sun's out, and it's warm outside.

why don't you crawl out of jim lee's ***?

:D :joker:

[GL-Corps#28]

Why is it that the Sale fans take every criticism as Jim Lee fanboy ranting?

And vise versa?

[Carmine Falcone]

Don't talk about Jim Lee here please, this is a Tim Sale appreciation thread

[The Riddler]

nice avatar carmine! :up:

[GL-Corps#28]

Don't talk about Jim Lee here please, this is a Tim Sale appreciation thread
I'm trying to keep the peace here, pal. And in case you didn't notice, way up there on your horse, it was a Sale fan who decided to go for insults rather than discussion.

[Carmine Falcone]

I wasn't talking to you, I should have quoted Guybrush Begins because I was talking to him. :)

[GL-Corps#28]

Ah. Dammit. Eh, I'm sorry as well, then. Also, I apologize for the horse comment. It's really a very nice horse.

...Tim Sale's Two-Face kicks ass!
*Does a heel-click and runs away*

[Carmine Falcone]

Thanks Riddler :D:up:
I agree with the Two Face comment GL-CORPS.

[GL-Corps#28]

But not the horse one?:)

[Carmine Falcone]

But not the horse one?:)

right...;)

[Carmine Falcone]

Anyway; (to get back on topic)
The great, great thing about Sale's art is that the characters are over the top (in a good was yes) examples:
Batman is HUGE!
Joker has a giant grin.
Scarecrow has a big wizard-like hat and is skinny as hell.
Poison Ivy is part plant.

I purchase the book at the SDCC last year at the publisher booth.
Tim Sale was there in person signing the book for who ever got it.
He drew a sketch of Two Face on the inside of my book.
He is such a cool dude.
I'll try to post pictures of the sketch tomorrow.

[Cobblepot]

wow. How much € does that cost Cobb?

I saw it only once at The Haagse Stripshop in The Hague, didn't realize it was about Tim Sale.
But I don't know what it cost anymore, but they average go for 30/40 Euro's.

It was a good idea to begin this T.Sale thread!

[JLBats]

This may be a bit off topic, but I was wondering if Superman for All Seasons is any good. I was thinking of buying it for Tim's art mostly.

There's a great deal of him on the internet.

yes from the forum of the official site, they were posted by Tim Sale himself.

Thanks Carmine, I found them. I didn't think to look in the TLH toy thread.

CWIR is a very good book, just as good as TLH/DV or Year One. I love it.

why couldnt you come up with your own design rather than hack another artists design?

[spdrknight]

Maybe he's just using it as a reference and the style will be completely different. The custom might look the same but that could be the only similarity. Cut him some slack.

i wasnt getting worked up or trying to sound malicious....i was just saying, if your drawing the riddler, dont draw tim sale's riddler, draw YOURS. being an artist means to create....and thats what you need to do, create YOUR riddler.

[Carmine Falcone]

agreed. Do you know the price in € Cobb? Will it be even shipped to the Netherlands?

[Cobblepot]

If you want it you can order it at many comic shops in Holland, they'll be glad to do it.
I Think that the mini-statue will cost you 70/80 Euro's
The big one prolly 150 Euro's.
My Justice League Maquette cost me 180.

[Sandman138]

http://www.vacuumboy9.com/tlh/wizsale.html

I never appreciated Sale's Batman all that much untill I read this. I've always thought Sale was a master of mood and sequence and I loved his style but I never really thought of his Batman as noteworthy. Reading about the thoughts he put into the design really made me see how much I had been overlooking and certian things I had unconciously been really into (the nose, cape, and ears).

[Cobblepot]

I'm not around much, because of my work right now. just a month to go and then I'll have my pc back on a daily basis.

positive comments only please.

I started reading Haunted Knight, the art is sometimes a bit weird but still very cool, but this is one of his first batman stories, am I right? But the stry FEARS was hellacool and the colors are neat too.

Can't wait to start with MADNESS. Man, Tim draws a good Mad Hatter...

Hey, is Haunted Knight really worth picking up? I've read Long Halloween and Dark Victory and loved them both, but I hear Haunted Knight has several unrelated stories in it. Is it still worth a look?

[Carmine Falcone]

Hey, is Haunted Knight really worth picking up? I've read Long Halloween and Dark Victory and loved them both, but I hear Haunted Knight has several unrelated stories in it. Is it still worth a look?

Yes it is. There are 3 stories in it: FEARS with The Scarecrow, MADNESS with ths Mad Hatter and the story GHOSTS with The Penguin, Poison Ivy and the Joker. Fears is the longest story, Madness is the best so far (I haven't read GHOSTS yet). The art becomes better with every story.

So...pick it up! NOW! ;):p
