Description

Detective Comics #83 (DC, 1944) CGC VF+ 8.5 Cream to off-white pages. This issue's dark front cover (with art by Jack Burnley) is the reason that higher-grade issues are hard to come by! This issue features the debut of the "new look" Alfred (skinny and moustached as opposed to fat and clean-shaven). The reason for the switch isn't any alternate-worlds mumbo-jumbo -- he just goes to a health spa to lose some weight! As for the backup features, the CGC notation "last Simon & Kirby Boy Commandos" isn't quite correct, but this is the last of the unbroken run of S&K tales, with most future installments the work of various ghosts. Overstreet 2009 VF 8.0 value = $674; VF/NM 9.0 value = $1,137. CGC census 10/09: 1 in 8.5, 2 higher.
