classic Batman cover; 1st app. Hugo Strange
Marc Lasry CollectionDetective Comics #36 marks the first appearance of Hugo Strange -- Batman's first arch-enemy, and modern collectors will know him as the primary antagonist of the critically acclaimed video game Batman: Arkham City. Rarely are copies of this pre-Robin Detective issue made available for sale. The instantly recognizable cover of this issue is one of the more memorable of the Golden Age Detectives, and the action within the book is equally enthralling, centering around Strange's use of a fog machine to cover up his underlings' crimes, Batman eventually thwarts the ne'er-do-well and locks him up, but Strange vows to reap his revenge.This copy of Detective 36 is remarkable. Bob Kane seemed to be really settling in comfortably to drawing the now-iconic Batman. The bright red logo and the simple-yet-effective design of the action-packed centerpiece straddles the line between the hard-boiled pulp roots of the Caped Crusader and the near future, where he will forever be associated with his teenage sidekick. This book is rare at any grade, and, hailing from the soon-to-be-legendary Marc Lasry Collection is a huge plus!
