Description
Detective Comics #28 Davis Crippen ("D" Copy) pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC PR 0.5 Cream to off-white pages. The second appearance of Batman, this is one of the earlier books in the Crippen collection. While this one has the wear and tear of a child-owned comic book (its interior is complete, though one wrap is detached from the staples), not that many in better shape are available, in fact we see this issue less often than the famous #27! As of this writing, CGC's census shows just three other blue-label copies. You can see the distinctive handwritten coding that appears on most of the early "D" copies, and of course you can also see Bob Kane's distinctive art on this very early rendition of the classic character. Note that Batman didn't appear on this issue's cover anyway, so Bat-fans aren't missing anything! At the very least, this is a nice hole-filler for anyone taking on the tough task of assembling an early Detective run. CGC notes, "1st wrap detached." Overstreet 2006 GD 2.0 value = $1,875. CGC census 6/06: 1 in 0.5, 3 higher. From the Crippen Collection.CGC Grader Notes:
