Description
Norman Saunders and Bob Powell Batman Trading Card Third Series "Blue Bat" #23B "Joker's Juggernaut" Illustration Original Art (Topps, 1966). For fans of the Batman TV show and the resulting Bat-mania that swept the nation, few pieces of original art could top this fantastic Norman Saunders mini-masterpiece. This is just about the best example of Batman Card art that we have seen to date -- the Harlequin of Hate, the Joker, hoses down his arch-rivals, Batman and Robin, in the spectacular scene for card #23B, titled "Joker's Juggernaut." Saunders painted this sixties sensation based on a sketch drawn by a fellow comic book legend, Bob Powell. This iconic piece has an overall size of 4.75" x 3.5". The top surface of the illustration board was separated from its backing board, leaving only the painted paper top surface, and there is a tiny paper surface pull at the upper left by Batman's hand; otherwise, the art is in Excellent condition.More information about Norman Saunders.
