4-6Batman: Li'l Gotham series.
Illustrated by
Dustin Nguyen.
Characters from the Batman universe--both heroes and villains--feature in holiday-themed stories. It's standard Batman fare, but the illustrations depart from typical American comics: instead of pen-and-ink, the muted panel artwork is rendered in watercolor and looks a bit like sloppy manga. While this gives the volumes something of a lighthearted air, the style won't appeal to purists. Visual prompts and questions are appended. Glos. Review covers these Batman: Li'l Gotham titles: Christmas and New Year's Eve, Halloween and Thanksgiving, and Valentine's Day and the Lunar New Year.
