John Byrne - 1 Original acetate film separations - Batman - Batman Classic 401 - 1986

A unique handcrafted display concept, showcasing very rare comic-book print separations and the comic to which they correspond. This display features a DC Comics ‘Batman Classic 401’ from November, 1986. It showcases classic John Byrne artwork integrated into a set of 4-colour multi-layered acetate proofs complete with the original printer’s notations. Acetate film separations used in the comic book printing process are routinely destroyed after the first production run to prevent piracy. This is therefore a very rare opportunity to own a set of these separations presented in a stunning framed display. This beautiful one-of-a-kind display piece is presented in a metallic frame finished in iconic ‘Marvel Red’. The comic book and separations are laid against black felt and protected behind UV-protected museum-quality glass. The separations are highly desirable comic book production art. A must for any collector! This item was previously on public display at the popular 'Sci-fi and Action Exhibition' at Moyse's Hall Museum. Framed: 26 H x 10.3 W x .75 D inches (66 x 27 x 2 cm) Metal Gloss Red Separations: 11 H x 8 W inches (28 x 20 cm) approx Comic: 9.75 H x 7 W (25 x 18 cm) approx This item comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
