Detective Comics #2 stepped away from the debut issue's Yellow Peril to focus on good old American criminals. Creig Flessel was also ready to settle in as the book's primary cover artist, establishing the gritty moods and milieu of the early run of Detective Comics. The title would soon become the darkest and certainly most atmospheric of all Golden Age DC titles, and one which excited readers even before Batman would swing into action to take over the title. The first several years of this compelling comic remain among the most revered and collectible of all Golden Age books. The finely-wrought covers by pulp maestros Craig Flessel were also ushering in a new age of creatives, with Detective Comics #2 featuring work by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster just a year away from Superman's debut in Action Comics #1.
Artist Information
Joseph Shuster was a Canadian-American comic book artist best known for co-creating the DC Comics character Superman, with writer Jerry Siegel, in Action Comics #1.
