Batman: Blackgate Isle of Men #1 p2 (1998) Jim Aparo / David Roach

Event Tie-in: Cataclysm storyline

This page features the introduction of Jared Max (birth page) who is the protagonist of this comic story. Roach nicely inks the great Jim Aparo's pencils providing a feel of his earlier bronze age work.

Page is in very good condition showing normal wear with handling and age. Use of white-out and blue ink as part of the creative process is present. There is a piece of top in the top and bottom margins. Last panel has a spelling paste-on correction on the second word balloon and a small patch paste-on with tape on Max's legs which looks like original artwork to me on it.

Published comic cover and page is for reference only and is NOT included with this auction nor is the comic itself.

Combined shipping:  I will gladly combine shipping for multiple lots.  In order to combine shipping you must wait for a final revised invoice to pay.  Please DO NOT PAY  until you receive the revised invoice.  Once you pay for an item I must ship it and cannot hold it for combined shipping.  If you pay prior to combined shipping and I try to refund after payment the savings will be lower due to eBay fees involved.  Usually additional pages can be added for only $1 more per page (sometimes slightly higher for West Coast-longer distances).

International Buyers: The eBay Global Shipping program does not currently offer combined shipping.  If you are an international buyer and want combined shipping you need to contact me PRIOR to your purchase to work it out.  The only work around-around is to relist the artwork in one combined lot prior to your purchase.  If you purchase individual listings then they must ship individually with separate fees by eBay.  Please contact me prior to purchase.  Thanks.

If you have any additional questions please ask.  

My current personal hobby pursuit is collecting original comic book artwork.  In my day to day job I was in the insurance business in our family office in Franklin Square for over twenty-five years.  After the death of my dad, I've merged into a larger agency in Lake Success, NY, SCS Agency Inc.  If you would like your portfolio of insurance protection reviewed to be sure you are properly protected and to check our dozen plus carriers for rate savings contact me.  We are licensed in many states.   I can also help protect your collectibles very competitively.  I'm very good at what I do and now have a great team behind me in my new office.  We can offer the national carriers, regional carriers, and carriers that cater to high value clients. And you'll have as your agent someone who shares your zeal for collecting.
