Description

Jim Lee Detective Comics #1084 Variant Cover Original Art - CGC Signature Series (2024). This shadow-soaked Azrael began life as Sketch #3 from Day 3 of Jim Lee's 2020 COVID-era fundraiser supporting brick-and-mortar comic shops. Four years later, that very same drawing leveled up into a variant cover for Detective Comics #1084. Lee has mentioned this is the only time he has ever drawn the Angel of Death, the same figure who famously stepped into the Bat mantle during the iconic "Knightfall" saga. That makes this a true 1:1 rarity from an artist who has spent more than two decades defining the look and legacy of Batman. Ink and white paint over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 9" x 12". In Excellent condition. CGC notes, "Signed, Sketch & '3/60' by Jim Lee on 4/3/20 for the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (BINC)".
