Late in 1999, Universal Studios of Central Florida began to wind down a five year investment of transforming Orlando into one of the country's leading centers for television and film production. Though in previous years production groups regularly produced material in town to avoid the high union wages of the west coast, both at Universal and MGM Studios, high players like Viacom pulled out...taking with them the syndicated likes of Sea Quest, Super Force, Swamp Thing, Super Boy...assorted Wrestling and Roller Derby programs...a live action Tarzan show... To this day, investors and producers remain in courts The Spider! out the mess. I know little of how they did things at MGM, but I worked for a number of people stationed at Universal's  22 A building...host of some twenty-two independent companies. This sericel...and others like it... are prototypes for a product  intended to be sold in a number of galleries and shops.  No contracts were finalized.
Charles Paris originally drew this incredible shrinking Batman  for the cover of Detective Comics #127...the flagship Batman title...and the miniaturization motif coupled with the googly eyeglasses effect of the mad doctor also brings the classic Science Fiction film "Dr. Cyclops" to mind...which I just happened to watch on Svengoolie recently.  

   Also this week... The Black Cat!  Adventures into the Unknown!  Blue Bolt!  The Human Torch and Toro!  Hawkman!  Batman and Robin!  The Green Arrow!  Strange World of the Murderous Robot!  The Phantom Lady!  Werewolf by Night vs. Dracula!    
   Yes, I do group ship!  If you win more than one sericel, I'll send a revised invoice with reduced postage.   The line art is printed on an acetate sheet...it is hand painted on the back to render the printed inks opaque. The background an original airbrush painting rendered on a quality card stock.......the final effect is the stunning 3-D quality of an original animation sericel.....This art is in near mint condition and is matted in white with a cardboard backing. A plastic sleeve covering is included .
