Marc Lasry CollectionYes, that's him. His face may have been colored pink by some unknown and probably harried staff artist, but this is the first cover appearance of the Joker, the most-collected cover character in comics fandom. Couple this with the first-ever appearance of Clayface, one of the Batman's most memorable villains, and this is a perfect Bat-collectible. This issue also features a full page ad for Batman #1 within its pages.Lay down that hatchet, Joke-face-guy! Incredible covers like this are what this hobby is all about, deep noir shadows and silhouettes of a vague skyline, and supervillains and heroes duking it out on rooftops. This gorgeous copy could be yours, all you've got to do is place the winning bid!
