The Flash Gordon strip that Bob Kane swiped for the cover of Tec 27..... 0

[gadzukes]

I just found out I have the Flash Gordon Sunday strip that Bob Kane swiped the image for the cover of Detective Comics 27.

I don't know much about values of Sunday strips.  Does anyone know if this one sells for some kind of premium?  There's not a lot of info I can find about it online, but I'd love to know if I have something special.

Bob Kane (and so many other GA artists) did so many swipes of Raymond and Foster, it is hard to keep track.

Raymond and Foster were both several orders of magnitude above Kane in terms of talent, so it isn't surprising that he would swipe their work.

Always confused by the various purported accounts of Batman’s origin.  

If I understand correctly, Kane didn’t create Batman - or maybe he just created the super rough initial idea - and that was a swipe of a character that looked nothing like a “bat” man.  So, Finger actually turned the blonde bright red clad guy into the dark human bat.  But no, the idea of Batman, a dark shadowy figure like a huge bat, came directly from a Shadow pulp.

Kane didn’t create the stories, or do any artwork that wasn’t copied from source material.  So every panel must contain swiped source material. 

Kane at one point said he saw the film The Man who Laughs as a kid, and this inspired him to create the Joker... but no, that’s not true ... Kane didn’t invent the Joker (Finger did).  ... but no, the idea of the Joker came, again, from the Shadow pulps.  

Given Kane is generally no longer credited with creating much if any of these characters and ideas (Finger is) ... but the ideas are now being traced to various swiped material ... Finger stole the characters and ideas?

I feel like the implication is Kane stole, and Finger simply improved 🤔.
