Bob Kane FileThis classic issue of Detective Comics #34 features the Batman, but also offers the book's last non-Batman cover for many decades. Detective Comics had previously started out as a typical anthology of the era, with a variety of moody pulp covers. Then the invention of the Caped Crusader changed everything.. This book also contains an ad for Flash Comics #1, plus contributions from Bill Finger, Bob Kane, Jerry Siegel, and Fred Guardineer, and that impressive Creig Flessel cover. That adds up to an undervalued key comic that should be on the radar of all Golden Age DC collectors.
Artist Information
A celebrity comic artist of the Golden Age, co-created Batman and Robin with Bill Finger, as his brainchild became more in demand he hired an army of ghost artists to illustrate the dearth of Batman features on the market, but all were credited to Kane. His other achievements include the creation of Catwoman, Two-Face and cartoon character Courageous Cat. Kane was the object of some controversy for taking credit for the art and inspiration of others, but he was also undoubtedly an important figure in the history of comics. He published an updated version of his autobiography "Batman and Me: The Saga Continues" shortly before his death in 1998. He got his start at the Eisner/Iger studio and was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.
