Way cool!

 

[Larryw7]

Is that for real?

[Ravencomics]

I'm willing to admit that I've never seen or heard of that ashcan before... I'm also willing to admit I'm not yet convinced it's real, but if it is it's a pretty big deal.

ravencomics is that yours or did you just get the scan from someone? There are a few things about that image that make me suspicious.

Ravencomics finds a previously undiscoverd ashcan in a mere 8 hours!!

 

Sounds like a Weekly World News Headline, don't it?

 

What next? The cure for cancer in a weekend??

I don't think it's real. I doubt that there would have been that kind of half-tone shading on Batman's costume back then.

I'm also leaning towards it not being real, but the "half-tone" shading isn't that problematic. If this was real, they probably would have printed the cover using only the Black plate from the original four color plate set. A dark blue on the original 'Tec #35 would have been a moire pattern of black printed over blue.Gray would have been a less dense moire with a little blue or nothing under it. If you look at the Superman ashcan, notice the interior of Supe's cape- this also looks "half-tone" in a small image (like the one posted in the Superman ashcan thread). We would need to see a much larger and sharper image of the supposed Batman ashcan to know what the deal with the gray is.

 

Also, raven: If you want to lend credence to this thread, you might want to let us know the origin of the image.

Would love to hear a response from Raven.

On second thought, the "half-tone" IS important... But not on Batman's costume. Where it's important is on the thin sliver of wall above the door and behind Batman's head. On the Detective #35 cover, this area is bright red- even if it was slightly darkened, there would be very little black involved. On the ashcan cover, this area is something like a 50% gray- way too dark to have been on the original 'Tec #35 black plate. If it was part of the plate, the diagonal banner on the left of the cover (which is the same color on the #35 cover) would have the same "half-tone". Whoever Photoshoped this mock-up cover must have missed that..

Same area on "Ashcan":

 

PS- If this turns out to be real, I will eat yummy yummy crow, happily.

I'm skeptical, to say the least.

what do you think!

I think it's a joke and that this post (and every other one you've made on the subject so far) highlights the fact that it's a joke, in lights.

 

I'm not sure why any critical debate is going on and rather think that you should be given an A for effort in the keeping us amused department. [Let's face it, you even "drew a picture" here!]

[dgillock]

Also, from the look of the black in the ashcan logo, it looks like whoever printed that cover needs to clean the heads on their ink-jet...

Exactly. The printer lines are a dead give-away. Everyone knows they used laser printers to create ashcans.

[Ravencomics]

that is not even a real detective #35 wrong colors.

[Ravencomics]

those lines you are talking about are on the scanner image not original image , just to let you all know think what you all want , I thought this would be a good discussion.

that sliver above batman's head is white on the original like i said before took picture of comic bad picture then i scanned it and posted it .

Again, Raven, I believed the question was asked as to the ORIGIN of this ashcan. Care to elaborate?

In my best caveman voice *ahem* - "Mmmm....took picture. Bad picture. Bicture BAAAAD!"

 

Thank you. Thank you very much.

[Ravencomics]

if you do not like Batman comics scan do not reply, i thought some comic guys would find it interesting and maybe a little topic for discussion.Otherwise I am happy with my book and golden age interior which is inside is Detective #37 batman story only. Any questions in regards to if it is real all i can say is it smells real to me , and that is all that matters, anyone that has anything constructive to say post otherwise go look for your own under the Alamo or in your kitty litter box, I thought this forum was for discussion not third degree on every post someone makes, so happy comic searching!!
