Batman and Joker Sketch by Bob Kane?

[MedicAR]

I want to read Robinson's book, I need to find a copy.

 

I always watch for the Bob Kane books to pop up. They usually run higher than I want to pay, but I still watch…

Ruben,

 

To me it all depends on the quality of the image. If he took his time, a ball point pen piece could look great or he could have crapped it out. Sounds like his best bet would best bet would be an auction house to sell it.

There's one of the clown paintings on this website...

I don't know why, but I was expecting better.

He's only as good as his ghost artist, eh?

I watched Bob draw an image of the Joker in his interview with Stan Lee and can honestly see some similarities between that and The Batman and Me book. The question is did he actually sit down and take his time with each one to provide the extra detail. The extra shading is a great way for him to reduce how much he has to draw or limit the detail. I'm not sure I can say the same between his Batman and the one in the book, but it is hard to tell because his drawing was face forward. Let me know your thoughts regarding these 2 pictures.

Here is a comparison of the 2 Batman drawings. The 2nd one is an authentic drawing by Kane. I can see Bob's signature circles under the eyes on both drawings.

Well this was a pretty fascinating read!

 

I didn't know about any of this.

 

This site rocks!

I bought a Bob Kane sketch on ebay years & years ago.

I was 99% sure of its authenticity based on samples & quality.

Sent it to get JSA & the said 'can not determine' authenticity.

I'm happy with it, but you'll never get anything IronClad.
