THE CREATOR OF BATMAN: THE WHITE KNIGHT IS REVVING UP A CREATOR OWNED COMIC. Artist Sean Gordon Murphy is writing and drawing The Last Driver, an ongoing Image Comics book that arrives Aug. 19. The story is set in an America where, as technology advanced, cities began creating the Grid, a robotic transportation system that not only made cars obsolete, it made them illegal. Against this backdrop, an outlaw named Clutch has no choice but to get behind the wheel one more time. What starts out as a race to save his granddaughter's life quickly turns into a rebellion against technology and fascism. In an email, Murphy said he was inspired to create the book while in France, seeing old race cars literally being put out to pasture. "I was in France when I started to think of this book, at the race track at Le Mans,” he wrote. “The museum was doing construction, so they moved about a billion dollars worth of cars to a nearby hangar located in a cow pasture. It was an amazing sight! And it made me wonder who was going to take care of such valuable cars in the future—not just race cars, but movie cars." Murphy doesn’t just talk the talk. He drives the drive. The cartoonist owns a restored and modified 1978 Datsun that he takes to car shows. And it's won awards. Murphy's wild ride. https://view.email.hollywoodreporter.com/?vawpToken=3L34C6RPMAFUHERSKANNLXJKUM.70246&utm_medium=email&utm_source=exacttarget&utm_campaign=HV+5-8-26&utm_content=681139_5-8-2026&utm_id=681139
