Sharing the good news on his Instagram account recently, he said: “I am so proud to announce my debut DC cover, a prestige format one shot Store Variant for The Comic Mint and Associates, ‘Tales From The Dark Multiverse: Batman Knightfall’!
“A few weeks ago I got a call from my rep Daniel Scott telling me DC is getting me on board for a cover opportunity, the biggest news of my career.
“And the cover is for the Batman! 14 years waiting for my opportunity to draw for DC and they gave me Batman. It is a good story to tell my future grandchildren,” he wrote.
