DESCRIPTION
ow/white pages; 2nd highest graded!
considered to be the ultimate Batman skating cover; Catwoman story (2-3/47)Batman #39, published in 1947, is a historically significant issue in the world of comics. This book features the first Robin solo adventure, where he faces off against Two-Face, which marks a significant departure from the Dynamic Duo format that had been established in previous issues and set the stage for an eventual spin-off series featuring Robin. Batman #39 is also notable for its contributions to the development of the Batman mythology. The issue features the introduction of the Batmobile, an iconic vehicle that has become a staple of the Batman universe. Overall, this issue is an important milestone in the history of Batman comics and a must-read for fans of the Caped Crusader.
This 9.6 copy of Batman #39 is 1 of 2 second-highest graded examples on the CGC boards, with only one 9.8 copy grading higher. The playful ice-skating cover is in extremely well-preserved condition, with resplendent colors and impeccable construction. Early Batman issues were designed to target a younger audience than the dark, moody tales of Detective Comics, and this cover is a prime example of the slapstick humor that would eventually come to be identified with the “Batman” TV series of the 1960s. A perennial favorite of Batfans worldwide, this issue is always a popular item in our Event Auctions.
Overstreet Guide 2022 NM- (9.2) value = $2,500.
