BATMAN COVER PLATES ARE EXTREMELY RARE From Sparta Illinois World Color Press Printing the home of comic book printing for decades.World Color Press Original 1982 Detective Comics 515 BATMAN COVER factory printing plate.Very few original BATMAN production plates are available.These cover plates were obtained by my family directly from World Color Press in the 1980's.A little history from World Color Press Printing.You see many printing plates but you hardly ever see the cover plates.Thats because every newspaper around the country had printing presses that used hundreds of plates for cartoon runs.The page plates in the comic book are much more common because there is only one cover and multiple page plates.The cover has the best display-ability of any printing plate.The cover plates were secured in their own storage room at the plant while the page plates were just thrown into the scrap recovery ben that anyone had access to.These cover plates were sold to my family which destroyed most of them for the metal that was in them except what I kept out.Guaranteed to be original and from World Color Press from Sparta Illinois.These plates have a curve from where they ran on the printing press.They are flexible enough to be flattened for framing.They look incredible framed with the comic book it printed.
