One envelope contains the Batman material… 2. The second envelope contains my non-Batman stylistic paintings and related publicity…which are quite unique in themselves and remember when selling this, to which I own the copyright completely with no problems—the publicity and brochure can and will say ‘Paintings by Bob Kane—Creator of Batman.’” In overall fine condition.
