1st Silver Age App of Two Face! 1st of 2 Neal Adam's Sketches and signatures on 11/11/20. This sketch is of Batman in Silver color on the lower left front. It's the chin of a Man, a Bat, a BATMAN! :) A familiar joke, taking the hard to see sketch on the chin! Batman was always chiseled in the jaw! A lot of fun when CGC offers in-house signings, and I paid up for this and one other. Neal was to do his dirty work on it with a sketch. Sometimes readers get slabbed as well. Even with the silver color sketch, it doesn't detract from the cover. It is why I did it on a lower grade copy, and even though it is an under copy, that cover is the bomb. The story is a classic detective type story that interrupts the run, after the Ghul storyline. I think the silver sketch on the cover is a little hard to see, unless it is in hand but even then. Still, it is fun when going through short boxes, and being able to pull out this slab to give Neal some respect! Bats had it rough to be the center of Two Face's attention, and after such a long time of not having to worry about him. Think about it, this silver age issue wasn't until 1971!
Complete with a back cover picture of Movie Frivolity with the Keaton series trading cards, the darkness brought to the moody substance. Neal Adams often had a smooth but mysteriously dark rendition of the "Bats" as well, without getting too morbid. Perfection copied by Tim Burton in the Keaton films.
Grader Notes:
light cover tanning;
light finger bends on cover;
moderate creasing to cover;
moderate pieces out to cover;
moderate spine stress lines to cover;
