Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson - Batman #196 Art
<B>Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson - Batman #196 Cover Original Art (DC, 1967).</B></I> <I>Holy headache</B></I>, Robin -- from the heart of the Silver Age's "Batmania" comes this mind-boggling "cover hook." The Carmine Infantino/Murphy Anderson art team turned out many of the most compelling covers of the Silver Age, and they produced this "twice-up" "Bats-terpiece" during a year that many aficionados consider to be the zenith of their teamwork. Because of the nostalgia and "camp" factors, Silver Age, "New Look" <B>Batman</B></I> covers are always in high demand -- so bid accordingly. This killer-diller cover has an image area of approximately 12.5" x 18.5". The pasted-on word balloon that was once glued down next to the Boy Wonder is missing (and could be easily replaced); otherwise, the art is in Excellent condition. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> 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 22.5% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auction Galleries. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auction Galleries, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
