Description

Detective Comics #62 (DC, 1942) CGC FN- 5.5 Cream to off-white pages. Is this the first "real" Joker cover? You could certainly make that argument, as the only previous comic book cover the Joker appeared on (Detective #40) has him barely recognizable, and with the wrong skin color, no less. This book's got the real thing -- we think you'll agree that this cover art by Jerry Robinson shows the quintessence of the Mephistopheles of Mirth himself. The story involves a nationwide competition for the funniest joke, to which the Joker isn't invited. He's mad at being left out, and no, he doesn't write a nasty letter, he starts murdering the contestants! Overstreet 2007 FN 6.0 value = $858. CGC census 10/07: 1 in 5.5, 7 higher.
