Ramos was among the very first artists to transpose comic book iconography directly into fine art painting — his superhero works of the early 1960s predating by years the Pop appropriations that would make Warhol and Lichtenstein household names, and establishing him as a foundational figure in the movement's engagement with mass culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHere, Batman and Robin run full-tilt toward the viewer against a blazing amber-orange ground, the Batmobile — rendered miniaturised, almost comic — following behind. The figures are painted with Ramos's characteristic blend of flat colour and simplified modelling: close enough to their comic book origins to carry the full charge of their iconographic recognition, but stylised enough to assert their status as art objects rather than illustration. The orange ground — warm, flat, absolute — gives the composition the visual authority of a poster and the formal clarity of a painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe work was printed by Accent Studios, Los Angeles — a respected West Coast specialist printer — and published by Robert Bane, Los Angeles, in an edition of 100. Each impression is signed and numbered by Ramos in the lower margin, and bears the printer's blindstamp and publisher's ink stamp. The provenance — from the collection of Michael H. Epstein and Scott E. Schwimer — is documented and clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Delivery:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✔ Shipped from France\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✔ Fast and secure worldwide delivery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✔ Insurance and tracking number included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-2 whitespace-pre-line last:mb-0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"S1PPyQ\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/collections\/mel-ramos\" title=\"Collection MEL RAMOS\"\u003e➡️ See all available works by Mel Ramos\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/pages\/contact-us\" title=\"Contact\"\u003e➡️ Contact us for any question\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-2 whitespace-pre-line last:mb-0\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an original Mel Ramos screenprint?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — an original screenprint in colours, signed and numbered by the artist, with printer's blindstamp and publisher's ink stamp, from an edition of 100.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the edition size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100 impressions — signed and numbered \"\/100 Mel Ramos\" in the lower margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is Mel Ramos significant in Pop Art history?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRamos was among the first artists to transpose comic book superheroes into fine art painting in the early 1960s — before Warhol and Lichtenstein had developed their own Pop vocabularies — making him a foundational figure in the movement's engagement with mass media imagery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the provenance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe work comes from the collection of Michael H.
