Bob Kane/Jerry Robinson classic Joker "double guns" cvr
Detective #69 sports a classic cover that also returned the Joker to his place as one of the most beloved and creepiest villains of the Golden Age. Jerry Robinson's two-gunned depiction of the Clown Prince of Crime lends the Joker a sense of menace that had been somewhat lacking after the introduction of Robin. Collectors know that the contents back up the striking imagery, as well. "The Harlequin's Hoax" is a classic Batman story full of intrigue and action as the Joker engineers a dastardly plot involving mysterious gifts and missing body parts.
he cover bears some of the telltale signs of its vintage, which is typically amplified by dark backgrounds. As fortune goes, the central image of the Joker looming over the Caped Crusaders is in commendable condition, free of any serious issues, affording this copy an accessible, respectable VG certification.
Overstreet Guide 2019 VG (4.0) value = $3,360.
