Anybody know anything about Batman strip art ? I see two pieces on Ebay and am trying to learn more about how rare they are

From the Heritage site describing the one up for bidding currently on eBay:

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.

 

It sold for $4,715 in 2004.

 

Most of the 1944 and 1945 strip sales fall into the $2,000 to $6,000 range, but they don't come up on Heritage very often.

Thanks for the Heritage information. At your suggestion I see the Permenant Auction Archives at Heritage has had a nice selection of past sales of Batman strip art in prices ranging from $2,000- $43,700. That really helps. Best

the one for auction is very reasonable at this moment

the one for set sale is a joke, or at least it should be a joke
