Robert Kane (Oct 24, 1915 - November 3, 1998) was an American comic book writer, animator and artist who co-created, with Bill Finger, the DC Comics character Batman. Kane also co-created the animated series Cool McCool. He was inducted into the comic book industry’s Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1994 and into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1996. Kane said his influences for the character included actor Douglas Fairbanks’ film portrayal of the swashbuckler Zorro; Leonardo da Vinci’s diagram of the ornithopter, a flying machine with huge bat-like wings; and the 1930 film The Bat Whispers, based on Mary Rinehart’s mystery novel The Circular Staircase (1908). In 1966, Kane retired from DC Comics, choosing to focus on fine art. As Kane’s comic-book work tapered off in the 1960s, he parlayed his Batman status into minor celebrity. Rare signed illustration from a significant artist who co-created one of the most well-known comic book characters. �������������������������������������������������������� Est. $350-700 EPHEMERA - EXHIBITION AND WORLD’S FAIR EPHEMERA Various States 408 408 Worlds Fairs and Centennial Exhibitions across America, ca. 1876- 1960s Pennsylvania, New York…...
