Batman Scrap Book Original Artwork (Walt Howarth, 1966)....

Description

Batman Scrap Book Original Artwork (Walt Howarth, 1966). This artwork for the Batman Scrap Book was painted by the original artist Walt Howarth. Mr. Howarth painted the original cover artwork for many "British Annuals" published throughout the 1960's. He also created covers for many other popular character items including toys, scrapbooks, and puzzles. As was his habit, he always painted 2 copies of each so he could submit one to the publisher and keep one for himself as a record. This original piece was the one he kept in his collection, and it is nearly identical to the graphic on the book. The painting comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Walt Howarth before his passing in 2008.
