    Description

    Batman #1 (DC, 1940) Condition: FR. This is one of the most significant comics of all time thanks to the first appearances of Joker and Catwoman, the famous Dynamic Duo cover by Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson, and a host of other reasons; no wonder it's the sixth most valuable comic book of all according to Overstreet. The issue has a retelling of Batman's origin as well. This copy's pages are slightly brittle. The three centermost wraps have rice paper reinforcement. The interior pages have multiple staple holes through the spine (from additional staples added by the owner). We won't pretend there aren't nicer copies in existence, but the catch is that you have to be Bruce Wayne to afford most of 'em. This is a great chance to snag an affordable copy of this legendary book. Overstreet 2005 GD 2.0 value = $7,179.
