Ruben Blades Copy
Detective Comics #16 is yet another Golden Age classic, as the pioneering pre-Batman comic book continued to introduce pulp fans to the joys of four-color artwork. Creig Flessel continues his amazing streak of covers that stood out on the newsstands and showcased the book's two-fisted line-up of tough guys. This issue featured the usual cast of detectives and adventurers like Speed Saunders, Bruce Nelson, Bart Regan, Larry Steele, and Cosmo. the Phantom of Disguise.
Collectors also seek out this copy for a look at the big changes in store for Detective . The interior front cover of this issue has a half-page ad for Action Comics #1, with Detective itself only 11 issues away from embracing superheroes and ushering in Batman as its own cover star.____________________________________________________
There's a scarce 33 copies of Detective Comics #16 on the CGC Census, with only four graded higher than this outstanding book from the Ruben Blades Collection's extraordinary run of Detective Comics. The book presents a vivid and clean color palette and great structural integrity. That includes the Creig Flessel cover (and the interior ad for Action #1) surviving the past 86 years in an exceptional state of preservation.
