Who draws the best-looking Harvey Dent?

[RubberLotus]

In most versions of Two-Face's origin, Harvey Dent is mentioned to be especially good-looking before the accident - his original golden age appearance, after all, had him nicknamed "Apollo" by the press. Yet, I find that too many modern artists, whether drawing him as plain old Harvey or as the good side of Two-Face, turn his face into a butt-ugly scowling gangster type.

So, which versions of Harvey, in your opinion, actually live up to the moniker of "Apollo"?

[Jvan]

His good side looks pretty damn suave here:

Tim Sale probably draws the best one I've seen.

But my favourite was Aaron Eckhart, because he's, well, Aaron Eckhart.

I thought Bruce Timm's rendition from B:TAS really did Harvey justice. Particularly his sketch of him smoking in the book, Batman: Animated.

[OverMaster]

Chris Sprouse (sp?).

Jim Balent also drew the non-scarred half of his face as rather handsome.

I like Simone Bianchi's Two Face, he sort of reminds me of Carry Grant

Talking about Harvey's looks, do you all prefer his scarred side with hair, or bald?

[JusticeOrigins]

Bald! Get as realistic as possible here! This is Batman we're talking bout'!

Ditto to that.

[thwhtGuardian]

Ditto to that.

Sale's is pretty awesome as well, but again his Harvey really reminds me of Carry Grant as well, I wonder if that was purposeful or if it's just me seeing things.

Not just you, I can see that.

Amazing, look at that tie. It isn't 2 random ties "stitched" together, but the actual pattern is 50/50, and as it should, it goes horizontally in the knot at the top.
Never noticed that before seeing this. Wonder if that approach is common or unique.

[brundlefly]

I agree w/ both Sale & Bianchi. I'll throw in Jae Lee (Batman: Jekyll & Hyde).

[Keehar]

Tim Sale's.

[Greg Anderson]

Post more pics! :biggrin:

I'm excited as I'm dressing up as Harv for Halloween this month! :cool:

Already said about a dozen times but Tim Sale.

Time Sale? Who's he? :biggrin:

Also, I'll put in my vote for Kelley Jones, but ONLY for one specific panel: the one in Batman #528 where he's shown busting out of Arkham shouting "We are... FREE!"

In that panel and that panel only, he looks like a freaking anime character. In a good way. :redface:

Everywhere else (including Batman's flashbacks of a pre-crazy Dent), Jones draws a typical grumpyfaced, squashy-looking Harvey that occasionally ventures into the territory of just plain ugly.

[RubberLotus]

And speaking of posting pictures... hang on to your underwear, ladies and gentlemen, for the awesomesauce combination that is Two-Face + Norm Breyfogle. (http://about-faces.livejournal.com/13513.html#cutid1)

The blog also has a ton more Two-Face commissions from professional artists, including a few by Sale.

So you really think Two-Face kept the same clothes and didn't just get a suit of his own after turning into Two-Face?

[The Batman]

His good side looks pretty damn suave here:

I'm a big fan of the way Sprouse drew Two-Face in that story. Also, Matt Wagner.

[OverMaster]

I'm a big fan of the way Sprouse drew Two-Face in that story.

Sprouse only did the interior art, however. That cover was drawn by Neal Adams.

[The Batman]

I know. I just can't find a decent picture of Sprouse's Two-Face online.

*cough* Batman #527 *cough*

[Bad Wolf]

I'm sure Brian Bolland drew him at some point, but I can't find a picture.

One that shows both sides of his face, that is.

Oh, here we go:

Gah, it won't show. It was on the cover of Secret Origins Special.

Who drew the Manhunter backup in Streets of Gotham? I thought that was a really great Two-Face, although heavily inspired by The Dark Knight.
