Description
Detective Comics #28 (DC, 1939) CGC Apparent VF 8.0 Extensive (P) Off-white pages. Overstreet lists this issue, the second appearance of Batman, among the 50 most valuable Golden Age comic books. We actually see this issue less often than we see the famous #27! In the Caped Crusader's second appearance, the character is obviously still being developed: every mention of him calls him the "Bat-Man", quotation marks and all! Plus there's the fact that he doesn't even appear on Fred Guardineer's cover, which offers detective fare in the vein of the preceding issues. The book's interior artists include Guardineer (drawing the Speed Saunders story), Joe Shuster (once again collaborating with writer Jerry Siegel on both the Spy and Slam Bradley stories) and Jim Chambers (drawing the book's other superhero the Crimson Avenger). CGC notes, "Restoration includes: color touch, pieces added, tear seals, cleaned, reinforced." Overstreet 2005 GD 2.0 value = $1,765; VG 4.0 value = $3,530; FN 6.0 value = $5,295; VF 8.0 value = $13,400.CGC Grader Notes:
