I believe Bob Kane did indeed draw that famous panel.
Well, he swiped it, at least.

Hmm... not sure I like that Yin/Yang effect on the Batman figure.

That's the standard base for the Batman BLACK & WHITE figures.

Ah. Thought you might have been referring to Kane's many ghosts on the book.

That's not how Kirby drew the S emblem.
Why do they bother?

And the face doesn't look enough like how Murphy Anderson draws it.

See, this is what's wrong with DC in a nutshell -- they love to appear hep
and happenin', so the current crew will say, effectively, We LOVE Jack
Kirby, and WE would never have redrawn the faces on his PRECIOUS comics -
--- but the S is a holy of holies and only Alex Ross gets to f*ck with it!

Wonder if thats the final version of it. That S emblem kinda looks like a sticker stuck on there.

The way Kirby drew it.
And then there's this cover...which is a Kirby piece inked by Darwyn Cooke.
I always think of JK Collector as serving up "original" versions more than some mandated version...was this drawn with Kirby-style S, or did Kirby just relinguish that fight? Or is this an "adjusted" version?

I don't think there was ever a "fight". Kirby drew what Kirby drew. It's kinda
funny how this has become some kind of rallying point for the fans, when
you consider how much Sinnott redrew on FANTASTIC FOUR.
