Important Update - Marshall Rogers & Steve Englehart Detective Comics #471 Complete 17-Page Story Production Color Guides (DC, 1977) 1 1

[jjonahjameson11]

Hi, all;

I've consigned the complete 17 page story colour guides for Detective Comics #471, written by Steve Englehart, Penciled by Marshall Rogers and hand-painted by Jerry Serpe, with additional colour updates by Marshall Rogers when the story was reprinted in the 1980's Shadow of the Batman mini-series (Baxter paper).

For whatever reason, Heritage chose to pile all 17 pages on top of one another for a crowded group shot and I feel it doesn't do the lot justice (Splash, Boss Thorne, Silver St. Cloud, Batman in Action, Monster Men, return of Hugo Strange, Batman ID revealed!), so I've attached additional pics to better highlight the published splash page, and pages with Batman and other key characters in the story.

Here's the link to the lot at auction:  Jerry Serpe Detective Comics #471 Complete 17-Page Story Production | Lot #46258 | Heritage Auctions (ha.com)

Hi, all

i was notified by Heritage that they were working on scanning and uploading all 17 pages.  However, they are not able to complete the task in a timely manner and removed the lot from the auction.

as soon as they confirm the rescheduled date for this lot, I will let you know on this thread.
