DESCRIPTION
crm/ow pgs; QES Certified: impressive prime focal area, glossy, deep color strike (red, yellow & green)
1st appearance of the Penguin (Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot); Jerry Robinson cvr/art, Bob Kane art
Detective Comics #58 marks a major milestone in the Batman mythos with the first appearance of the Penguin. Oswald Cobblepot made an impressively brutal debut, as well. In fact, recent fans will be surprised at how the character started as the same kind of scheming crime lord that's returned to the spotlight in the acclaimed big-screen The Batman, as well as Colin Farrell's hit follow-up on HBO with the Penguin series.
"One of the Most Perfect Frame-Ups" begins with Penguin pulling off his first Gotham City heist by swiping a valuable painting from an art museum. He brings his haul to the mysterious “Boss” of a crime ring, whom the Penguin will soon ventilate with an umbrella gun as part of taking over his operation. Eventually, the Dynamic Duo join in on the action and confront the rotund renegade, only to discover that the Penguin is a cunning nemesis capable of framing Batman for his gang's own crimes.
The Penguin would enter comic book lore as one of the most recognizable and popular of Batman’s enemies. The character's reputation as a ruthless criminal mastermind was also restored by the cultish success of the Gotham TV series, followed by Colin Farrell's success. This issue has never been hotter as a reliable investment, although collectors will note that the title has also always been sought after for Jerry Robinson's outstanding cover art.
