Description
Norman Saunders and Bob Powell Batman Trading Card Third Series "Blue Bat" #2B "The Penguin Prevails" Illustration Original Art (Topps, 1966). As any baby boomer knows, the Batman TV show created a raging Bat-mania that swept the nation like wildfire and Topps was at the forefront of the craze with their highly collectible Batman trading card sets. Norman Saunders' offbeat mini-masterpiece captures the campy Pop Art flavor of the TV show as the Penguin flies "up, up, and away thanks to his beautiful balloons." Saunders painted this scene based on a sketch drawn by a fellow comic book legend, Bob Powell. This Silver Age sensation 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 are tiny paper surface pulls at the lower left, by Batman's left forearm and the Penguin's umbrella; otherwise, the art is in Very Good condition.More information about Norman Saunders.
