The Bat-Blog is Looking for Vintage Issues of The BATMANIA Batman Fanzine by Biljo White
Recently, here at the Bat-Blog, we were contacted by a family member of the "Biljo White Estate". For readers unfamiliar with his work Biljo White was a commercial artist in the 1960's who was such a HUGE Batman Fan that he created a fanzine ( magazine ) called "BATMANIA". It covered all the recent news of the character. Just think of it as the "Bat-Blog done in paper & delivered in the mail", ha ha! White created all the artwork for the covers & inside content. It was a labor of love & he was also an extremely talented draftsman. The artwork is some very beautiful stuff! These vintage copies today are highly sought after by Batman Fans & are actually pretty hard-to-find. In the photo up above I show a few copies to give you an idea so please be sure to click on that graphic for a larger, more detailed, photo. Well, OK, now to the part where the family contacted us. They wanted me to do a post where I ask Bat-Blog Readers if you have ANY of Biljo White's artwork, especially these magazine issues. They want to put together a small book honoring his life & art. Personally, I really love this guy's artwork so it's an honor for me to do this. So, if ANY readers have any of these original issues then please contact us today. Thank You!
