Detective Comics #64 (DC, 1942) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white pages. Simon and Kirby's Boy Commandos made their first appearance in this issue! Inspired by the British commandos who were drawing press attention at the time, S & K (whose first DC work appeared just three months earlier) created this international group, with each kid coming from a different Allied nation. The group would soon get their own quarterly title within months (while continuing to appear in Detective). The lead feature in the issue was of course Batman, who battles the Joker. The issue's cover is by Jerry Robinson. The blacks on the cover are deep and solid, no wonder this is the top copy on CGC's census. Overstreet 2008 VF 8.0 value = $2,483. CGC census 9/08: 1 in 8.0, none higher.
