Detective Comics #32 (DC, 1939) CGC FN- 5.5 Slightly brittle pages. The early Golden Age Batman was a bit different from the later character in some respects -- not only does he use a gun here, he shoots two villains while they're asleep. Ouch! Overstreet calls it the "first time a costumed hero used a gun in comic books." Bob Kane's dark character was already the star of the book in this, his sixth appearance, and while he didn't get full cover billing, this was the first issue to have the "Batman head" logo on the cover. The cover is by Fred Guardineer. The detectives in the issue include Speed Saunders (drawn by Guardineer) and Slam Bradley (with a Jerry Siegel story and Joe Shuster art). Overstreet 2010 FN 6.0 value = $2,514. CGC census 7/10: 4 in 5.5, 2 higher.
