Crowzilla Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Mandarake auctions in Japan announced that they will have a vintage color shikishi of Batman by manga artist Jiro Kuwata (creator of 8-Man and the original artist on the 1960s Batman manga in Japan). Originals from this series will most likely never be available, making this is a pretty rare chance to get an art from one of the key contributors to 60s Bat-mania. This might be a little off the beaten path for most collectors, so I thought I would point it out. Peter L and SquareChaos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I totally misread the date on the post I saw. You are quite right, this sold last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowzilla Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Well Mandarake has added this back to the preview for their upcoming auction, scheduled to go live on the 20th, so I guess the sale didn't go through last time or it has been re-consigned.
