Batman Detective Comics #31 homage; Sheldon Moldoff painted art; image size 14" x 17"One of the unsung heroes of the Golden Age, Sheldon "Shelly" Moldoff was a true journeyman artist, able to turn his considerable talents to any genre, hero, or title, all with unerring flair and graceful style. In the late 1980's and early 1990's, he finally received his due from rabid fans and collectors, and made a new career drafting stunning new commissioned pieces for art mavens. This piece is an extraordinary, visually stunning take on the classic cover to Detective Comics #31. A beautifully colored piece of art by a legend of comics' earliest days. Mixed media. Art is in excellent condition. Signed by Moldoff.
