Trivia

• According to the New York Post article, Tim Sale is colorblind. His illustrations for Isaac's paintings are digitally colored by a colorist, textured to look like they were painted, and then printed on canvas.
• Tim Sale: "I’ve done maybe 20 paintings for the show and 30 comic book panels, not counting the comic that was given away as a promotion in San Diego. I should say right away, that the “paintings” are not actually paintings, they are wash drawings on comic book paper, about 11″x17″, that are then colored by the amazing Dave Stewart on a computer, and then blown up and transferred to canvas — except for the canvas part, just like Catwoman: When In Rome was produced."
