Description
Detective Picture Stories #5 (Comics Magazine, 1937) Condition: VG+. The first detective/adventure art by Bob Kane appeared in this issue, and Kane's seven-page story concerns the heir to a millionaire fortune, a fellow who has a bit of Bruce Wayne in him! This was the last issue of the first detective comic series. It's part color, part black and white. In addition to the Bob Kane connection, there's another DC tie -- this series' publisher, the Comics Magazine Company, was started by two gents who left the company now known as DC. The cover star is the Clock, who appeared in Quality comics in later years. This is a used copy with stains on the first page, but as Overstreet notes, "all issues are very scarce," and we're glad to see this book in any condition. Overstreet 2006 VG 4.0 value = $332.From the John McLaughlin Collection.More information about Detective Picture Stories.
