My friend Dan of Jim& Dan's Comics & Games (& Jim & Dan's Comic & Toy Shows) posted this pic of a delivery truck form 1944 sporting a Batman and Robin banner supplied by Independant News... The image came from Robert Beerbohm who is working on a book called The Comic Book Store Wars, which sounds intriguing as well. This was one of many such images he found in doing research for the book. -M

I remember this image from a museum back east (either New York City and/or Boston) seeing this picture somewhere. I just can't recall where but I do remember seeing it. Thanks for posting it.

Bob lives not too far outside of Omaha, fairly close to me.
I've corresponded with him and I think I talked to him at a SDCC once.
Bob was a partner in one of the earliest most successful comic shop of the late 60's, Comics & Comix in San Francisco.
I'd love to pick his brain.

In the 90s, for a while when I was driving into work on new comic day (either Thursday or Friday at the time) I would sometimes see a truck with a Norm Saunders-style Batman painted on it. I wondered if it was a distributor, 'cause where I saw it would be a direct route between two LCSs.
