Published in 1991, ‘Tec Annual No. 4 was a showcase for young Tom Grindberg, then emulating the bronze-age Batman work of Neal Adams, in particular the original Ra’s al Ghul saga from Batman Nos. 242–244.
It’s a great-looking book, originally coloured by Grindberg as well. Finding a couple of pages on Heritage Auctions, I wondered what a full illustrative style of colouring could do for them.
