Description
Detective Comics #27 (DC, 1939) CGC FN 6.0 Off-white to white pages. Not only is it in contention with Action Comics #1 as the most important Golden Age comic of all, it's just about as hard to find in any grade! We've offered just four copies in higher grades in the last 22 years, and just two nicer copies in the past 10 years! But who could blame collectors for hoarding their copies! Herein are the first appearances of Batman (Bruce Wayne) and Commissioner James "Jim" Gordon. The combination of desirability and rarity makes this issue perpetually outperforming its Overstreet value. Look for this to be the most valuable book in our auction! Batman co-creator Bob Kane did the cover and contributed interior story art, along with Joe Shuster and Fred Guardineer. Currently #2 on Overstreet's list of Top 100 Golden Age Comics. CGC notes, "'To my friend Bob Crestohl - Bob Kane' written on page 1 in pen." Overstreet 2022 FN 6.0 value = $816,000. CGC census 3/23: 2 in 6.0, 14 higher.CGC Grader Notes:
light erasure mark right center of front cover
light soiling on cover
light wear all corners
small piece out top of spine
very light creasing to cover
very small scuff left center of front cover
