Description:
Charles Paris inks - Original art for Batman #56; Complete 13-page story "The Riddle of the Seven Birds" (DC, 1949) As an added bonus, the last page of the story features two panels that did not appear in the published version of the comic, a short coda in which the jail warden browbeats the Penguin, and the Caped Crusaders add another trophy to their collection; these two panels (perhaps deemed extraneous by the editor) were pasted-over with a Nestle's Crunch ad, and, to our knowledge, have never been published. As a result of the paste-up, they are slightly yellowed from the glue. The first page is signed by Sprang, Paris, and actor Burt Ward (who played Robin in the Batman TV series); Sprang also signed pages 8-11, and Paris signed pages 2, 6, 8, and 10.
