Bob Kane cvr/art; classic hypodermic needle/bondage cover (1/40)
Lost Valley Copy
Detective #35 marks the beginning of Batman’s reign as the title’s regular cover star — featuring a wild image that captures all the gruesome drama of the Dark Knight's first year on the newsstands. (Readers also got their first look at Batman's own car, although it wasn't yet called the Batmobile.) These rare early Detective books are vital to understanding how the character quickly vaulted to the top of the collective consciousness of Golden Age comic readers. These are also the books that would directly inspire the early-70s creation of a "New Look" Batman as envisioned by legendary Batman artists Neal Adams and Jim Aparo, and once again referenced for the pioneering blockbuster Batman film of 1989.All the bluster and melodrama of this cover is emphasized by the stunning color quality of this book. This copy presents higher than its grade, and the well-preserved cover maintains its iconic imagery for collectors old and new.
Overstreet Guide 2018 VG (4.0) value = $31,200.

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.
