Just arrived in the office: Brand new Neal Adams-inspired Batman sculpture.
Now it can be revealed. My poster for Eddie Muller’s movie DANGEROUS CITIZEN: The Life and Times of Abraham Polonsky. The movie will premiere at the Locarno Film Festival. I also created the graphics for the film. It’s a brilliant and vitally important movie, especially in these times.
DANGEROUS CITIZEN: The Life and Times of Abraham Polonsky is the movie that I worked on. I’m officially credited “Graphics by Michael Kronenberg” and I also designed the movie’s poster. I’m so proud to be part of this vitally important movie!
Making serious progress on the Hammer Horror movie poster puzzle.
Received my copy of @mrstevehunt.bsky.social book KNOCKOUT MOVIES, about the greatest boxing movies. I’m interviewed about BODY AND SOUL, & I designed the book’s cover. I’ve been a guest on Steve’s podcasts, Desert Island Fights and Boxing Movie Podcast. This book gets my highest recommendation!
Reminder that the print edition of the latest issue of Noir City Magazine is out and available to order. I think it’s one of our best issue’s yet. Get it here: a.co/d/050T7fTT
Just ordered this very cool Neal Adams-inspired Batman sculpture from Sideshow Collectibles for my office.
Yesterday, I bought the beautiful facsimile of BATMAN #251 that DC released. It’s an impeccably produced reprint of one of the greatest Batman stories ever. On the right is my original version from 1973, signed by Neal Adams when I interviewed him in his NYC studio.
I was a guest on the Desert Islands podcast. I had a great time talking to Steve Hunt about my 5 favorite fights to watch (Steve permitted me to choose a 6th). Listen here or wherever you listen to podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

KNICKS IN FIVE! Nathan and I celebrate (as Tuco looks on) last night’s Knicks championship victory!! So great to experience this with Nathan, 53 years after I watched the #Knicks win their last championship with my father. I know my dad Howard Kronenberg is somewhere smiling. #AlwaysKnicks
LETS GO KNICKS! Knicks return to the NBA Finals tonight for the first time since 1999. My dad loved the Knicks, I’m a #Knicks fan because of him and we watched when they won their last championship in 1973. This is my dad and me in 1989.
Happy birthday to two icons who reside on my office’s desk shelf.

It is Marvel in the sense that the series is based on an actual Marvel comic book.
