Larson CopyOne 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.
Structurally, this stunning example, is almost flawless with the look of a 9.0-9.2 copy. The Lamont Larson copy is one of the top Pedigrees ever discovered. With white pages to boot! Wow!
