One of the most iconic covers of the Golden Age! 1st app Joker; 1st app Catwoman (Spring 1940); Comic Book Impact rating of 10 (CBI)One of the most important comics of the Golden Age, featuring one of the most iconic covers, Batman #1 is the perfect cornerstone for any new GA collector; a historic comic that only increases in value and popularity year after year, featuring the debut of fan favorites the Joker and the Cat, later dubbed Catwoman.
There have easily been over a hundred titles devoted to the Caped Crusader, more than Superman and Spider-Man combined. Starring in several serials, animated series, TV shows, movies, video games, novelizations, record albums, and virtually every other medium, Batman is omnipresent. Along with the Boy Wonder, the Dynamic Duo is universally recognized, and this issue, Batman #1, is a milestone key as it serves to announce that Batman and Robin are here to stay.
There has been some slight restoration performed on this copy of Batman #1 which is in G+ condition and looks pretty bright and spiffy for its grade. Any way you slice it Batman #1 is one of the top comics around in terms of value and desirability, this lower-grade example will be a powerful draw for collectors who have been on the hunt for this classic Golden Age key but are continually priced out at higher grades. With a James Gunn reboot of the DCU, can another iteration of the Caped Crusader be far behind? This is one of the best investment books around and is sure to be a hotly contested lot come auction time. A 2.5 copy of Batman #1 sold for $215,000 in March 2023.
