Bob Kane

[Bat-Man]

Anyone have any cool Bob Kane signed GA comics?

[MedicAR]

No, but I've got one signed "Bob Kane" by Dick Sprang.

 

[LloydJBailey]

I think I remember seeing that Doug

[Triston Pence]

I don't have a signed comic, but I do have a Batman head sketch by Kane w/ his signature.

[skinnys_pal_tubby]

Nice! I've got one too.

 

[Bat-Man]

Great pieces!

 

I do not have one........*sniff*

[Joel Elad]

I've got a signed Batman #186, that's probably more of a Silver Age book than GA. I also have one of the Batman & Me books with a signed sketch in the front, I believe. I can post scans when I get back from Seattle.

[Triston Pence]

Sweet books Joel.

I remember seeing a Tec 31 signed by Bob Kane.. Forgot who the board member was, but I thought it was sick!

You probably mean this one. I tried to make him an offer for the book but he's disappeared.

It is a sweet book. I met Bob Kane when Warner Bros. trotted him out to promote Batman Returns back in 92. He was there at MIDNIGHT at a Tower Records in LA with the Batmobile in the cold wind (they moved him inside so he wouldn't catch pneumonia or anything) and I stood in line for a couple of hours, but he never gave up, signed everyone's VHS box covers, and my comic. I had about 2 hr notice and was lucky to find that book in my collection before I left, considering it was a late night and all the comic shops were closed.

 

And if that comic wasn't safely stored away in a different building while I'm packing for the Emerald City show, I might have posted a pic... Maybe next week.

You bought the book from the Webhead11? From the inscription, it appears it used to belong to artist Frank Brunner... which makes it a bonus.

I really, REALLY want to get a Bob Kane signature for the collection but I'm just so skeptical since he brought the authenticity of his signatures, sketches, and artwork into question with his overuse/abuse of ghosts.

Frankly 31 being my favorite cover - If I could find a nice one that was signed by Bob Kane I would certainly entertain spending a "bundle" on it.

Very good point.

 

And I really want one as well. That can be proven.

[Allen James]

I know tons of his early sigs credited to him on books were bogus but wouldn't sigs on personal sketches and signed copies be legit? Most of the artists were pissed about it in there later years, wouldn't think they would sign anymore of his stuff for him.

[MedicAR]

That is exactly what I thought. I thought that the signed and sketched "Batman and Me" books would be a sure thing. They were released in 1989 or so and came signed and sketched from the publisher. In recent years, I've heard rumors that Bob Kane may not have even done those.

 

The world may never know.

Probably the one place you can get some solid Kane signatures is through Bob Feldmann (used to be the President and cofounder of Dynamic Forces). He still has a bunch of random books signed by Kane but you'll pay a tidy premium for them.

I was thinking the same thing. DF may be the only place with authenticated sigs. And I am sure they are very expensive.

[Mac Man]

DF actually doesn't have them. Feldmann's handle on eBay is tfes--he has a lot of books in inventory but only lists a few here and there on eBay. Here's his website as well:
