"These brilliant designs make us long to summon Don Giovanni back from his sulphurous pit to seek further adventures in this new Seville where clouds take the form of reclining lovers and mazes are fashioned from playing cards. This time he might be saved who knows But Mozart would surely jump at the chance of writing new music for him. Olbinski is one of those rare artists who are able to register the purpose of an image but then go beyond this to create enduring life." -Barry Unsworth jacket blurb. Patinae hardcover books

19392DC Comics 1939. none. Very good. Original hand corrected typescript. The complete story from Detective Comics no. 30 here titled "The Batman and the Diamonds of Death" the title was changed when it was published to "The Return of Dr. Death". 6 pages on 5 leaves 8" X 13" 1500 typed words plus 196 words of handwritten ink and pencil changes additions deletions and corrections including a rewrite of the final scene on the last page accompanied by a pencil drawing of a gliding Batman. Very good condition no mending tape or repair. This is Dark Knight incunabulum and as rare as a one ended stick. No other Batman manuscripts from this vintage or even from near this vintage is known. In fact any and all DC superhero manuscripts before 1945 except this one are impossible. Ex-Bob Kane. Ex-Mario Sacripante part of a dispersal of Kane's abandoned papers that included some page proofs and sketches but only this one manuscript. And by the way the printed Detective Comics no. 30 with our story in it sold for $19120 at auction in 2012. And the world record at auction for any issue of Detective Comics May 1939 graded 7 is $1500000 HA 2020 and for any Batman comic Spring 1940 graded 9.4 is $2220000 HA 2021 4 times the price of the most expensive imaginable hardbound 20th century 1st edition so something big and real is going on here. And both those prices are for a single comic of which dozens are known making our unique manuscript seem not to be very expensive and the chances of finding something even vaguely like it are the same as the chances of sitting in a chair with your mouth open and having a nicely roasted duck fly into it. Batman is the model for all modern superheroes without superpowers. Fueled by his superior intellect and powered by his fabulous toys he first showed up in Detective Comics no. 27 in a story written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Bob Kane. Finger also wrote the second story. When DC noticed its popularity they called in Gardner Fox who took over and wrote the next 4 including this one. Finger and Fox collaborated on the 7th story Detective Comics Nov. 1939 then Fox wrote the 8th one alone. Then with the exposition settled he turned it back to Finger and moved on to a long and influential career at DC co-creating Flash The Sandman Hawkman and the first superhero team-up with The Justice Society of America forerunner of The Justice League and it was Fox who conceived the Multiverse and introduced it to DC in 1961. First of all don't doubt it for a minute comic books are books. And this is the only early manuscript from the 2nd most valuable run in all of 20th century books Superman is the most valuable his debut in Action comics no. 1 selling for $3200000 2014 the world record for any 20th century book. Our manuscript will be looked back on in 10 years with regret captured in the thought "Why didn't I buy that" The answer is because there were no comps comparables or price points and only the most experienced enlightened and self-reliant collectors can calculate value without comps. From a more general perspective collector insight changes. Collector taste changes. The clues that point direction are only obvious in reflection. Some more stubborn booksellers continue holding to their view of what is in demand from a generation ago while other more cunning booksellers strategize to direct the insight and taste that drives demand towards obscurities that they can buy for cheap so as to extract large profit margins but the best collectors are immune to both the illusion of market rigidity and the deceit of bookseller manipulation because the savviest among them know that the market isn't static and watch carefully as the deck is shuffled and then focus on the center of the new radar. Whichever is the cause all but the nimblest booksellers get ambushed and in the confusion and isolation ensuing from their own folly they blame their disorientation on the collapse of enthusiasm for book collecting Book Code.

1937WRCLIT70515London: Paramount 1937. 10pp. Quarto. Pictorial self-wrappers with upper wrapper bearing Paramount's standard house imagery. Heavily illustrated. About fine. Original campaign pressbook for the British release of this film adaptation of a story by Paul and Elsie Fox with the screenplay by Louis Stevens and Robert Wyler. Directed by James P. Hogan starring Dorothy Lamour Lew Ayers Gilbert Roland Lionel Atwill Anthony Quinn et al. The film is obviously set within the context of the Spanish Civil War and was touted as the "First Spanish War Romance" but the war serves chiefly as a backdrop affording little insight into the causes and events. The publicity paper however offered some dramatic period imagery. Paramount unknown books
