Jerry Robinson Original Batman Artwork From 1942 and 1943 At Auction

Sherrill David Robinson, better known as Jerry Robinson, was an American comic book artist known for his work on DC Comics' Batman line of comics during the 1940s. He is best known as the co-creator of Robin and the Joker and for his work on behalf of creators' rights, including seeing his own name alongside Bob Kane and Bill Finger in the creation of Batman's most iconic images and characters. He was inducted into the Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2004 and died in 2011. And ComicConnect is auctioning the original artwork from two pages from his Batman runs, one from Batman #14 from 1942, currently at over $19,000, and one from Detective Comics #79 from 1943, currently at $6,000 with both going under the hammer today.
