Bob Kane - Original Comic Strip Art for Batman
Bob Kane - Original Comic Strip Art for Batman Daily dated 6-9-44, Autographed by Bob Kane (McClure Syndicate, 1944). Batman and Robin foil a plot to maim bystanders with a heavy window grate, and also use their rescue method to pursue the evil-doer. Jerry Weist's The Comic Art Price Guide notes that Batman dailies from 1943-44 are rare. Bob Kane has autographed this original, "May you hit the top of the heap in short order--Best always--Bob Kane 1/3/47", in the upper border. The inking of the art is very attractive and may be the work of Charlie Paris. Great early Batman action and a Bob Kane autograph from 1947 make this a very special piece. The overall art paper measures 7.5" x 23", with an image area of 5.5" x 21.5". The art is in splendid condition, and the benday dot pattern is still vivid. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
