About the item: Standing approximately 8 1/2 inches tall and weighing nearly five pounds, this stunning bust prop features Batman's cowl from Frank Miller's classic The Dark Knight Returns. Best of all, it is actually singed by hand by Miller (at the 2022 Mega Con in Orlando, Florida). The cowl itself is in new and undisplayed condition (it was opened only for the signing) and it will be shipped with the utmost care. Please note- the signature is real. It is the actual, hand-signed signature of Frank Miller. It is not a pre-printed image on the bust. It is #876 of only 5,000 produced and includes both its original COA from DC Gallery and its original box (box has general storage/shipping wear, including box indentions and corner dings... but it isn't falling apart, of course). A note about condition - I ordered several of these busts and all of them have very, very slight white marks at the tips of the cowl ear points. Hardly noticeable but, if you look for it, you can see it. Not sure if they were simply not painted carefully but I did want to point it out. It isn't damage as, again, the bust was opened only for the signing. Easily touched up if you are so inclined. See scans for more details. ~Certificate of Authenticity/Provenance: Excepting pack-pulled autograph trading cards, CGC Signature Series, signed Sideshow prints, and like collectibles, all autographed items Vault Collectibles sells were personally witnessed, by myself, being signed by the writer, artist, or celebrity in question.
