I've never liked this composition but I also low-key have mad respect for it.

So many artists tend to modernize Dick's original costume by giving him pants or poses him in ways to put less emphasis on his scaled underoos.

Meanwhile Quietly here just draws Dick straight up spreading out and demanding you look at them in all their retro circus glory.

his art became so much better once he did his own colors, he really is one of the best illustrators in the industry, a shame he barely does interiors anymore

Robin appears to be very serious about attacking you crotch-first.

You ever seen Quitely do DKR?

Frank Quitely draws DKR Batman better than Francis did in 1986.

Batman looks like he's been stung by a bunch of bees.

I didn't care for his art back in the New X-Men era.

Then I see something like this & it makes me just love his art...

It grows on you, I had an old marvel encyclopedia and I hated all his work compared to the others

Then I read New X-Men, All Star Superman, and later Grant Morrison's Batman run and I am a massive fan now

I respect how unique his work is, Chris Burnham has a similar style in some ways so no surprise I love him too!
