On December 17, artist Norm Breyfogle was hospitalized due to a stroke. For many Batman fans, Norm Breyfogle
stands out as one of the top artists from the late 20th Century as the
penciller for Detective Comics from 1987 until 1993, as well as working
on the Batman series from 1990 to 1992. Norm Breyfogle has most recently been
seen illustrating Trinity
of Sin: The Phantom Stranger and Batman Beyond, and the award-nominated Life With
Archie.
Norm Breyfogle
has suffered paralysis on his left
side, and he draws with his left hand. He now needs
months of extended care with daily therapy that will hopefully enable him to
once again continue his skillful art and regain his mobility to be able to walk, draw and hopefully work again.
Like many comic book artists before
him, Norm Breyfogle is experiencing the brutal reality where freelance artists with marginal or no insurance can find themselves
crushed under hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical bills from career-altering illness or injury. Even in the
Affordable Care Act era, health-care security eludes many artists, including
ones with histories as extensive and reputable as Norm Breyfogle. He needs help. You can help save him and get cool art for doing so.
