DESCRIPTION
Batman #1 and #2 bound volume
One of the most iconic covers of the Golden Age! 1st app Joker; 1st app Catwoman (Spring 1940); Comic Book Impact rating of 10 (CBI)One 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.
Bound volumes are an interesting subgenre in the comic book collecting hobby, while at once preserving and compromising the integrity of a comic, they have a way of popping up and surprising you with their contents. Having the forethought to get comics placed in bound volumes takes a certain level of devotion and determination, and the owner of these copies of Batman #1 & 2 no doubt felt it was best to protect these beloved tomes in a hardcover binding and keep them safe for future generations. As luck would have it, these copies are now available to our bidders as a set, still encased in their original binding, a wonderful opportunity to pick up a couple of dyed-in-the-wool classic key comics. An added bonus, you can still read these books, most Batman #1s have been slabbed and will remain tucked away for time immemorial, but if you happen to become the winning bidder on this lot, you can enjoy the additional satisfaction of perusing the pages anytime you like.
Overstreet Guide 2020 G/VG (3.0) value = $85,950.
