Description

15" x 10" image area. Ink over graphite on Bristol board. Detective Comics #431 page 11 original art (DC, July 1972). Murphy Anderson and Irv Novick. From the Murphy Anderson collection.

I just love the dramatic images of Batman's cape in the early panels but what I really admire in a page of vintage comic art is the dating of the piece by the vehicle art. In this page, how appropriate that the villain is driving a Dodge Challenger but only the best for the billionaire playboy, Bruce Wayne. What else but a first year model 1961 E-type Jaguar?? Its combination of beauty, high performance, and competitive pricing established the model as an icon of the motoring world when first introduced. It is rumored that, on its release on 15 March 1961 Enzo Ferrari called it "the most beautiful car ever made". In 2004, Sports Car International magazine placed the E-Type at NUMBER ONE on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s.

This automotive masterpiece remains one of the most iconic cars of history and it was no coincidence that it appears in a most wonderful, prominent perspective as Bruce Wayne's personal ride in the last two panels.

Thanks and thanks for the correction. A little late-night haste! ;)

Hot wheels meets comic books!

The top panels poses that produce the Shadow of the Bat are very good Novick, who's artwork graced Batman with what is now recognized iconography.

Is referring to your alter ego as another person some sort of third person? Fourth person? Crazy? Either way, better fill up the tank before you bring it back, Bats. This is an awesome classic Batman page by Novick. Detective work, a car chase, and Batman is about to solve the crime. And great art by Novick and Anderson. Congrats!
