Bob Kane cvr/art; Joe Shuster, Fred Guardineer art, last Batman solo issueThis comic would be the last time the Batman would fight crime as a solo act in Detective Comics as he was soon to be accompanied by his trusty sidekick, Robin, in an effort to appeal to readers of a younger demographic. While this is not the last pulpy, moody, dark Detective cover, it represents a shift in the tone and demeanor of the early, dangerous, lone-wolf vigilante, which is only one reason Batmaniacs should be chomping at the bit to get their hands on this copy.
Strong colors dominate the cover of this original condition copy of a classic Batman cover, with powerful yellows beaming out of the blues, purples, greens, and browns that comprise this amazingly well-preserved copy of Detective Comics #37. The overall presentation of this book is enough to earn it a QES certification, and the sound structure, with its stable spine, strong edges, and lovely staple placement all combine to create a Golden Age relic that has withstood the rigors of time. This is a popular entry into the early Detective mix thanks to it being the last appearance of a lone Batman, a book that is always a popular fixture in our Event Auctions.
