Jerry Robinson cvr/art, Bob Kane art; 1st app. of the Penguin (Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot)
DC Premiere CollectionThough you wouldn’t know it from the cover, this issue of Detective Comics is a huge milestone in the Batman mythos, as this is the book that first introduced the Penguin to an unsuspecting world of comic fans. In his initial appearance Oswald Cobblepot pulls off an art robbery from a museum, and upon bringing his haul to the mysterious “Boss” of a crime ring, he soon ventilates the mobster with an umbrella gun and takes over his operation. Eventually, the Dynamic Duo join in on the action and confront the rotund renegade, only to discover that he is a worthy nemesis, who frames Batman for his own crimes. The Penguin would go on into comic book lore as one of the most recognizable and popular of Batman’s enemies, one of the few who actually is not a frothing-at-the-mouth madman, but simply a clever and nefarious criminal mastermind. Owning this issue is owning an important piece of history, and the awesome Jerry Robinson cover is the icing on the cake.
The simplicity of the four-color printing process employed throughout the pre-digital era of comics is on full display on this deceptively simplistic cover design. The bright hues have defied the rigors of time to arrive today in blinding radiance, as hot yellows and reds contrast disarmingly with cooler blue and green tones. This comic is definitely a great investment choice as Colin Farrell has been cast to portray the umbrella enthusiast in the upcoming “The Batman” in the DCEU, and as those who watch the marketplace know, it is a no-brainer that first appearances of characters almost always see a rise in value whenever a new film or TV show starring said character makes its debut. This book is a sleeper key of the Batman canon and as such, will see fevered bidding come auction time.
Overstreet Guide 2019 VG+ (4.5) value = $3,600.
