BATMAN SECRETS Sam Kieth Gallery Signed Edition

WAREHOUSE FIND! Sam Kieth's unforgettable depiction of the Dark Knight, focusing on artwork from the 124-page Batman: Secrets series. Large-format, Smythe-sewn hardcover edition is sourced from and captures the look and feel of the original art boards. Rounding out this 248-page presentation is the complete art from Batman: Confidential #40, Batman/Lobo #1, Kieth's eight-page story from Batman #38 and an extensive gallery section containing covers and pages from Scratch, Arkham Asylum: Madness and Batman: Through the Looking Glass. Limited to 100 copies. This oversized Gallery Edition hardcover containing samples of Kieth's art from his early days (1992) to the present (2015), includes a sequentially numbered Signature Page signed by Sam Kieth, presented in a debossed slipcase, with a debossed, taped spine. Graphitti Designs has long been a publisher of unique and limited edition large-format hardcover books collecting noteworthy series or the combined works of some of the industry's most popular creators. Many of these limited-edition volumes sold for many years, and many of them are no longer available. But we recently discovered through our friend Bob Chapman at Graphitti that there were also some very limited versions of these books, that were only available through their website. These volumes are super limited (only 100 to 250 copies each) and are each signed by the artist (or writer in some cases). We're very excited to offer these limited-edition books for the first time to our customers and collectors! Yet another Northern California comics artist that I knew, Sam Kieth and I attended the same school back in the '70s, and we would often hang out and read comics or draw together. To hear that we recently lost him saddened me greatly. He was a good guy, with a unique art style all his own. RIP Sam. ~Marty Rush Service and International shipping could require an additional charge.
