DESCRIPTION
ow/white pgs
1st Joker story in Detective; 3rd Joker app; bondage coverDetective Comics #45 bears the distinction of containing the first appearance of the Joker in the title, already established as a popular villain in the pages of Batman Comics, the Clown Prince of Crime had yet to show his hideous grin in the Bat’s original book. That alone should be worth the price of admission, but, the classic Kane/Robinson cover art and the plethora of anthology heart-stoppers that fill out this book add that extra appeal that makes the Golden Age so much fun to collect.
Graded at a very respectable VF+, this book is in a stunning state of preservation, sunny yellows and crimson reds adorn the cover with panache, making the cooler hues all the more impressive. Only the slightest of imperfections along the spine are visible, there is no question that this copy is one of the nicest we’ve ever laid eyes upon in all our years in the business. It would surely make an attractive addition to any serious GA Batman collection.
