DESCRIPTION

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.
Even the staunchest of Timely collectors make exceptions when it comes to premiere titles like this. This copy is in a condition that will allow more than just the highest-end investors to bid. Batman fanatics have driven issue #1 to astronomical numbers so don't be surprised if this hits a new record at grade. Despite all of the wear and tear that has accumulated on this cover over the decades, the copy is still vibrant, presenting a strong color palette, and carries historical importance that simply cannot be matched. With the next iteration of both Robert Pattinson and Michael Keaton’s Batmans coming to theaters in the near future, this book continues a hot streak that will likely never end.
Overstreet Guide 2022 GD (2.0) value = $67,000.
