Description

Detective Comics #33 Davis Crippen ("D" Copy) pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC VG 4.0 Off-white pages. The origin of Batman was told for the very first time here! And since that's one of the most famous origin stories of all, no wonder this issue is ranked #12 on Overstreet's list of the most valuable comics. The classic cover is by Bob Kane (possibly with a Jerry Robinson assist), and it's notable for the gun holster clearly visible on Batman's belt. The Caped Crusader is even shown holding a smoking gun inside the issue! Unlike most of the Davis Crippen copies, this one has obviously been read, but the nice cover colors are going to make the winning bidder for this key book very happy. Overstreet 2006 VG 4.0 value = $7,778. CGC census 6/06: 1 in 4.0, 7 higher. From the Crippen Collection.
