Batman Artist JIM LEE Pays Tribute To HEATH LEDGER with Joker Artwork.

The famous comic book artist known as JIM LEE is a favorite of most Batman Fans for his work on this classic character. He's an extremely talented artist but the great thing is that he's also a pretty cool, down to earth, guy! Recently, at his personal blog, he posted a picture he had drawn as a gift to Heath Ledger that was a birthday gift to him & for getting the Joker role. ( Be sure to click on the graphic for a much larger, more detailed, photo ). He posted it has sort of a tribute with "RIP" labeled under the graphic. It's an awesome drawing of the Joker with the inscription, "For Heath, Happy Birthday GO NUTS! HA HA, Jim Lee 2007". Heath was know as being a very good person & it's nice to see how so many people cared. This post goes out to you Heath, R.I.P.
