From Ilke
I was curious about a Batman sketch that's up on ebay, which the seller claims is by George Perez: www.ebay.com

It looks a lot like a Batman sketch he did at the 2006 Toronto convention appearance: www.flickr.com
George Perez responds:
Your eyes are definitely better than mine, but there do seem to be
some differences in the marker strokes. The question would have been
whether it's because of it being a forgery or a bad reproduction
(something to do with the photocopying of the original.). However, the
crosshatching on Batman's face are definitely dissimilar and the
likelihood of my being able to sketch a Batman head so incredibly
similar (down to the angle and length of the cape as it trails off his
shoulder) is incredibly unlikely. It, does seem to lead one to conclude
that it is a forgery.
I'm not sure what I can do to prove that (and I, frankly, don't
have the time), but, if you wish to use my statements to report it to
ebay, you have my permission.
