Ruben Blades Copy
Detective Comics #38 changed the course of comics (and Batman) with the first appearance of Robin, the Boy Wonder. Created in 1940 by Bob Kane, Bill Finger, and Jerry Robinson, Robin made his debut with a tragic backstory that made him the perfect companion for the similarly orphaned Bruce Wayne. The idea of a kid sidekick was still a major gamble against the gritty backdrop of Gotham City. Fortunately, Robin was embraced by younger readers. The character soon doubled the sales of comics in the Batman franchise, inspiring a wave of young sidekicks from beloved stars (Bucky Barnes, Toro) to forgotten figures (Stampy, Owl-Girl).
Detective #38 was ultimately proven right to hype Robin on the cover as the “sensational character find of 1940!" Of course, many teen characters would later take on Robin's trademark yellow cape, red suit, green boots, and gloves. Investors still know there's only one original Boy Wonder, and only one definitive debut as Robin bursts onto the cover and into legend!____________________________________________________
This striking 7.0 Detective Comics #38 (part of the Ruben Blades Collection's extraordinary run of Detective Comics) has Slight restoration that preserves the book's original look, with impressive eye appeal and sharp colors that highlight the historic image of Robin bounding into comics history. ”Batman: Caped Crusader” debuted Aug. 1 on Amazon Prime, with three more Batman-related projects scheduled to be released in theaters and on television in 2024 — further ensuring the Dark Knight remains one of pop culture's most prominent figures.
