Description
Norman Saunders Batman Trading Card Series One "Orange Back/Black Bat" #17 "Spikes of Death" Illustration Original Art (Topps, 1966). Batman is caught in a terrible death trap in this thrilling trading card illustration by Norman Saunders. It's from the "Orange Back/Black Bat" first series, card #17, entitled "Spikes of Death," and it spotlights Saunders' pulp heritage. The maniacal machinery of this death trap is solidly within the tradition of such devilish devices first seen on the covers of the "shudder pulps" of the late twenties and thirties. Note that Batman's eyes are detailed on the original art, while for the printed card they have been whited-out (in the tradition of the comic book stories). The art is fully rendered in gouache on thin board measuring approximately 4.75" x 3.5". A trading card from the 1989 deluxe reissue edition set is included; both the art and card are in Excellent condition.More information about Norman Saunders.
