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.
This is the first self-titled Bat-book, featuring the premiere appearances of Joker and Catwoman, as well as a classic Bob Kane cover, Batman #1 is among the most desirable comics of all time. The eye appeal of this restored copy is quite impressive, with the central image of Batman and Robin swinging through the air appearing almost as fresh today as it did over 80 years ago. This book represented a major step in cementing Batman’s legendary legacy, opening up the character’s fan base to a younger audience while simultaneously lightening the Caped Crusader’s darker roots. A key book like this is always in high demand, and copies are only becoming scarcer and more valuable over time, be they restored or in original condition. Batman #1 is one of the all-time historic DC books, alongside other keys like Action #1, Detective #27, and Sensation #1.
