BATGIRL: YEAR ONE Character Sketches

Artwork by Marcos Martín

Before tackling the penciling of DC Comics' BATGIRL: YEAR ONE, Marcos Martín sat down and rendered these "turnaround" sketches of several major characters from the nine-issue mini-series.

While few of the characters are new, Marcos attempted to provide fresh takes on several key Bat-Characters, including Barbara Gordon, her father, and her own fledgling alter-ego… Batgirl!

BATGIRL
Babs' costume is inspired by the Dark Knight's, but clearly infused with her own sense of individuality.

BATGIRL IN ACTION
Marcos's sketches illustrate a few moves from Batgirl's unique fighting style.

LIEUTENANT GORDON
A major player in BATGIRL: YEAR ONE, Gotham's future top cop isn't thrilled with another Bat-themed vigilante on his beat.

MOTH THUGS
Killer Moth is integral to Batgirl's origins, and his gang of thugs sports eyewear keeping with their employer's penchant for lepidoptera!
