Description

Detective Comics #38 (DC, 1940) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Extensive (P) Off-white to white pages. The first sidekick in comics remains the best-known sidekick in comics! Of course, we're talking about Robin, who made his first appearance in this issue. It's a significant book by any measure, and we've always been intrigued by this observation by Overstreet: "For the first time in popular literature, an apprentice was accepted as an equal by his partner." This key issue is 13th on Overstreet's list of the most valuable comic books, and this professionally restored copy presents very well. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: color touch, pieces added, tear seals, reinforced." Overstreet 2005 GD 2.0 value = $3,525; VG 4.0 value = $7,050; FN 6.0 value = $10,575; VF 8.0 value = $26,600.
