Scott McDaniel, whose dynamic drawing has graced series including ROBIN, NIGHTWING and BATMAN, has add 2-years to his exclusive agreement with DC Comics.

“I am extremely happy to continue working with all the amazing DC characters, both fictional and editorial,” says McDaniel.  “I am very excited about the new challenges ahead.  When I was a boy, I absolutely loved Superman, Batman, Robin, the Flash, Aquaman, the Greens — both Lantern and Arrow — and it is a dream come true to vicariously live out their adventures through my pencil!  The experience of working with editors like Bob Schreck, Michael Wright, Tom Palmer Jr., and Mike Carlin is professionally satisfying and creatively stimulating, as they are each committed to creating intelligent, interesting and challenging stories. Thanks, DC, for making all this possible!”

“I started working with Scott just as the Batman mantle was handed over to me here at DC, and all I can say is that I had the greatest experience watching this consummate pro slam-dunk his deadlines while never phoning in even a panel, let alone a page,” says Group Editor Bob Schreck.  “He thinks everything through: the layouts, the dynamics, the choreography, the lighting, the overall composition, EVERYTHING!  He’s a joy to work with, on every level, and we here at DC are very lucky indeed to have him on our team.”
