BOB KANE SIGNED BATMAN SKETCH.

Side profile drawing of Batman by Bob Kane. The drawing measures 9x6 inches. Mounted and framed. Supplied with coa.


Early Batman stories were written and penciled by Bob Kane's own art studio (located in The New York Times building) and then sold for publication. Kane received the sole credit for whatever he and his staff created. Finger remained the main writer of the series, while Jerry Robinson (1922-2011) and George Roussos (1915-2000) were hired as Kane's art assistants. The four of them are jointly credited for introducing most of Batman's early supporting characters and memorable villains.
