The 1940 publication of Batman #1 is a milestone, presenting in a single issue not only Batman’s origin story but introducing his infamous foes The Joker and Catwoman in their first appearances! The dynamic cover is merely a foretaste of the action in the subsequent pages.
Illustrator Alan Quah and sculptor Mufizal Mokhtar, both highly respected by the international comics and collectibles communities, collaborated on this limited edition. Their homage cranks up the action in Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson’s original cover art. Excitingly realized in 3D, a spectacularly detailed pewter Batman swings across Gotham’s rooftops, accompanied by the Boy Wonder Robin on a facsimile of the original cover on bonded porcelain.
