Captain Canuck

Or maybe not done by Kane at all. Do we know for certain if Kane worked on any Batman issue? Beyond taking claim. Did he not have a ghost artist from day one? As well, didn't he also do that with Bill Finger.

Wasn't Kane an amateur drawer at best? Would explain all the ghost artists and tracing predawn images.

Don't forget vintage Neal Adams, Jim Lee (Hush), Marshall Rogers and if you can find D ick Sprang that would be just as good as Bob Kane.

Wow! Great collection! That colored Kane Batman definitely look like his style. I guess unless someone physically saw Kane draw the piece or was his Ghost and couch vouch for or against it. There is no way to know for certain. There has to be a better and easier solution.

Would explain the different weight in lines.

I'm curious if I should get this signed by Stan Lee, but in pencil.

Ankur here is a letter I found in my collection that he wrote to me in 2012. Every time I wrote to him his signature varied from S. Ditko to S.D. to Steve Ditko. I have always found his responses pleasant, but the length has greatly decreased over the years. This is the best response I received from him over the years.

That Joker also looks different to the remarqued version I posted previously, which is why I didn't purchase it just didn't look right. I find his Joker faces to be more simple and this one is too edgy/polished for his style. Which is funny because this is from his autobiography and does not fit his style. Feels like a fake, even though it is supposed to be official/authorized Kane.

I'm going out on a limb here, but they are 2 different pictures. You will notice the difference between the 2 when you look at Batmans belt and Robins raised hand. The lines are similiar, but thinner and more deliberate in terms of providing depth and contour on the second image.

They are all from the same seller, so I assume they got them from the same source. I thought all all the drawings in his remarqued autobiography were headshots? At least that is what I have seen and own. Too bad there is no way of authenticating whether he legitametly drew those remarqued sketches or not. I had a choice between Batman or Joker, but something didn't look right about his remarqued Joker so I took the Batman headshot.

Batman and Robins proportions look off. Looks too polished for anything I have seen Kane do in his later years.

They are selling a similar Kane drawing on their website that is very suspect. http://www.allanimation.com/jocapebaro.html

I used to have this puzzle as a kid, but it was mounted on wood and used as a play mat.

Is that a legit Siegel and Shuster sig?

Also the sig on the 2nd image is the most Kane like.

The sig and style in the 2nd picture looks more like Kane than any of the others. I always found Kane's style to be very lazy and simplistic.

Is there any value in coverless copies or restored coverless copies? If so, how much do they realistically command in terms of demand and price?

When will the package be announced/on sale and will there be any other packages announced in the near future? As well, will Jim be signing regardless of the package? I assume the package gives you front of the line? As well, will VIP also give you front of the line for Jim? Lastly will he be involved in a sketch duel and which days will he be present? Will Adam Kubert be coming this year?

They look like they were taken at the same time. Shirt is the same and the stats in the background are the same and in the same place.

Please PM me his address.

I doubt it is him. Where is his black thick eye glasses? I assume he needs to wear them all the time.

His responses are becoming shorter and more concise. I would love a lengthy letter from him, but so far no luck. I'm wondering if a letter from a child would warrant a longer response.

Just thinking. If you take your item and attach it to the cover of a blank comic, I assume then they will give it a green label or with a witnessed sig or sketch, yellow green label.

They said no to everything. Only if it is on a comic or sketch cover can it be encapsulated after the fact with a green label.
