Description

Never thought I would get the chance to own an original cover to this ground-breaking series. All four covers are iconic in their own special way. While not as memorable as covers to issues 1,2 or 4, it still puts a smile on my face everytime I look at it. Enjoy.

OMG! Fabulous pick-up! Love this cover and even though the drawing of Carrie is small, her impact certainly isn't.

Talk about iconic!  Big and graphic but still illustrative and clever--love the shadow behind Carrie, that's a thoughtful touch.

Well, you have one of the two out of the four I would want. The silhoutte ones do not do it for me.

Shazam!!!! That's how you pick up a dark knight piece. Instantly recognizable, iconic, unforgettable.  A centerpiece among centerpieces.

It is as memorable as the other three, as time seems to be kind to all the classic keys.

Sockamagee! Carrie Kelley's awe of the Bat-Signal mirrors what comic readers were feeling when this series was coming out.

In addition to grail, I think the word majestic comes to mind.

I couldn't help but chuckle when I read the, "While not as memorable....." line.  There are only four of these.  You have one.  Certainly you are free to write whatever you want in your description.  But I would argue that particular line just might not be an issue to the other 99.6% of us who don't have a DK cover.  Anyway, congratulations! I hope you'll be able to enjoy this less memorable cover for many years to come.  LOL!

Can you explain what we're seeing here? (besides history).  How was the background grey-tone achieved?  Is the bat signal inked on the borad too??
