Jim Mooney - Original Art for Batman #56, Compl
Jim Mooney - Original Art for Batman #56, Complete 10-Page Story "A Greater Detective Than Batman" (DC, 1949). From the Golden Age of comics comes this neat ten-page tale of the Dark Knight and the Boy Wonder, courtesy of writer Bill Finger and penciler Jim Mooney, with inks (probably) provided by Ray Burnley. Typical of Finger-penned stories, this one features a huge, working prop in the storyline; this time around it's a gigantic cash register, complete with moving keys and a sliding cash drawer. The art has been drawn on sheets of heavy bristol measuring approximately 14.5" x 23". All pages show minor wear and light warping from years of storage, but overall are in great condition, with no missing stats or major soiling evident. Pages one and four have been signed by Mooney. During the 1940s, it was DC's usual practice to destroy original art, which makes this complete story a rare find, indeed! 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.
