Description

This is probably the earliest Riddler drawing by Dick Sprang to still exist. Often, Dick would trace characters from his original art pages on heavy vellum before shipping it off to DC Comics...to use as future reference material...which is more like the model sheet that many comic artist use today. This was traced from the very first appearance of the Riddler (Detective Comics #140 -- 1948), which was a character that Dick Sprang co-created with Bill Finger.
