Detective Comics #55 features a classic Bob Kane cover showcasing the industrial intrigue of lead story "The Brain Burglar" — with
Batman getting lucky when his investigation into the missing Dr. Deker is interrupted by Bruce Wayne's date with girlfriend Linda Page. The night out includes a visit to her uncle's munitions factory, where some Axis operatives are testing out a mind-control device invented by the abducted scientist. This beloved book also captures the Golden Age in bloom with a full page ad for the Star-Spangled Kid's debut in
Star-Spangled Comics #1.

This striking copy of
Detective Comics #55 easily ranks at the top of the scarce 91 copies listed on the CGC Census! The book is exceptionally hard to find at high grades, so this copy is particularly vital for preserving Bob Kane's classic cover in all of its colorful glory. Collectors get all the original contrast of the more muted hues, as well. There's also a sturdy spine matched by corners that have remained impressively sharp after 83 years!
