Set Description:
The "bondage cover" notation on this CGC label is an old tradition that was a niche in collecting, and from DC and Marvel alike!
Lol this is so much fun! Keep it cool and give Neal Adams an instrument to draw and sketch! Well of course you'll have to pay him, and he'll talk your ear off! He brings the bats with him, and he speaks the dark mysterious things a Batman can do and think, to deliver Justice! Neal Adams run ins are fun, and not always easy to get through lol. Sometimes, it's best to learn we have "2" ears for a reason, leave it to CGC in-house signings though to get the job done!
Yes, Neal was the REAL DEAL. Here are some other examples of his work!!
By way of a "gumshoe" and a helping hand, the Batman is doing his duty to see it play out in real life where the land of the living see results for the better kind of living. Bruce Wayne knows the highlife, and not all is Miller Time and new rides. The Bat's delivers a swift kick in the neck to book criminals of affairs and nefarious dealings, and they can have a rehabilitating cause to repent. It isn't the mind of Batman sometimes when in the thick of it, but the clarity comes when he is sometimes at his darkest. The power not in himself shows what form of justice he provides as, "I am the night, I am Batman!" The word and vocals of such a foreboding yet ominous call to stop what you're doing immediately; it is a call you have to answer in the price that is demanded. Long is this world without mercy, but justice is calling and those in the midst will have heard now or in the beyond at Arkham Asylum!

1st Silver Age App of Two Face! 1st of 2 Neal Adam's Sketches and signatures on 11/11/20. This sketch (more...)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!
A little flattened out wrapper of Keaton movie cards, which shows the whole package so to speak! Many ephemera that rocked the theaters.
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;
moderate tears to cover. (less...)
