Burnley cover; Kane, Robinson art; 1st Batman Christmas story; Joker story; black coverPublished in 1942, Batman #9 is a significant issue in the history of comic books. This comic features the first appearance of two of Batman's most iconic villains, the Joker and the Penguin, in the same story, making this issue a must-read for fans of the Caped Crusader. Not only does Batman #9 introduce these memorable villains, but it also showcases the early development of the Batman mythos. The issue features the first appearance of the Batplane, a vehicle that would become a staple of the Batman's arsenal, and introduces the character of Julie Madison, a love interest for Bruce Wayne/Batman who would play a significant role in the early years of the series. Overall, Batman #9 is a crucial issue in the history of comic books, not only for its introduction of two iconic villains but also for its contributions to the ongoing development of the Batman universe.
The black background on the cover of this 7.5 copy of Batman #9 is quite solid, with very little wear-and-tear visible, the yellow wash of the spotlight is also quite clean and crisp. The majority of copies listed on the census are mid-grade or below, making this a hot target for Batman collectors. The spine is solid, the construction is sound, the colors are bright, and the old-school CGC label adds that extra air of esteem to this Golden Age classic which is always a popular item at auction.
Overstreet Guide 2022 VF- (7.5) value = $4,040.
