Description
Batman #1 (DC, 1940) CGC Apparent VF- 7.5 Moderate (P) Off-white pages. It's the Joker's first appearance and Catwoman's too, no wonder this issue is #6 on Overstreet's list of the most valuable comic books! And of course, it's the first issue of one of the very few comics that has been in continuous publication for 65-plus years. Also of note are a retelling of Batman's origin and a classic (and much-imitated) cover by Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: color touch, pieces added, tear seals, cleaned, reinforced." Overstreet 2008 GD 2.0 value = $8,200; VG 4.0 value = $16,400; FN 6.0 value = $24,600; VF 8.0 value = $57,400. From the Kylberg Collection.CGC Grader Notes:
