DESCRIPTION
A 15% BUYER'S PREMIUM WILL BE ADDED TO THIS ITEM AT CONCLUSION OF THE AUCTION
white pgs; ct, pcs added, tear seals, reinforced, cleaned
Bob Kane classic cvr/art; 1st app. of Thomas Wayne & Martha Wayne. Batman gun holster on cvr. Origin of Batman. (11/39)
Surprisingly, Detective #27 contains no origin for Batman. In Detective Comics #33, the story of how Batman came to be is told for the very first time including the murder of his parents. The Dark Knight's tragic beginnings have been embedded in American culture and become the archetype origin for countless characters that followed (hello Robin). Readers later enjoyed the reprinted story in Batman #1. Also of note is the unusual and infamous cover image, in which the Dark Knight is seen armed and dangerous, breaking the code against guns that was to become a cornerstone of the character's makeup over the years. A startling and classic image, from the beloved first year of the hero's adventures, rich with gothic shadows and crude, almost nightmarish graphics.
Detective #33, the origin of Batman, is a historic issue. Batman's origin has been told and retold countless times since in every possible medium, from comics, movies, shows, cartoons, videogames, and every other storytelling medium you can think of. This copy has white pages and a 7.0 Restored Grade from CGC. The restoration includes color touch, pieces added, tear seals, and being reinforced and cleaned. This is such a momentous book, it is extremely desirable in any grade, restored or otherwise. Win yours today!

Overstreet Guide 2021 F/VF (7.0) value = $72,150.
