One of the most iconic covers of the Golden Age! 1st app Joker; 1st app Catwoman (Spring 1940); Comic Book Impact rating of 10 (CBI)One of the most important comics of the Golden Age, featuring one of the most iconic covers, Batman #1 is the perfect cornerstone for any new GA collector; a historic comic that only increases in value and popularity year after year, featuring the debut of fan favorites the Joker and the Cat, later dubbed Catwoman.
There have easily been over a hundred titles devoted to the Caped Crusader, more than Superman and Spider-Man combined. Starring in several serials, animated series, TV shows, movies, video games, novelizations, record albums, and virtually every other medium, Batman is omnipresent. Along with the Boy Wonder, the Dynamic Duo is universally recognized, and this issue, Batman #1, is a milestone key as it serves to announce that Batman and Robin are here to stay.
Imagine the looks on your friend's faces when they feast their eyes on your seemingly new, vibrant copy of one of the most-valuable comic books on the planet. This painstakingly restored copy of Batman 1 is a conversation piece that has few equals. Not only is this a first issue, including an origin story, of a beloved, iconic character, it's also a highly desirable collectible and an incredibly valuable piece of history. In hand, this is an incredible copy to behold. Even if you already have a copy, it isn't as nice as this one. Curators of the best of the best and braggarts alike can happily possess this comic when the hammer drops.
Restored copies of comics are enjoying a renaissance of late, with new advancements in restoration being made all the time, collectors can once again dream, save, and enact their plan to own some of the rarest books on the planet.
