Surprisingly, Batman's debut in Detective Comics #27 doesn't include the origin of the Caped Crusader. The hero's tragic childhood wasn’t revealed until Detective #33, featuring the first appearances of Thomas and Martha Wayne. (New readers would find this story reprinted in 1940's Batman #1.) This Detective cover — only the fourth comic cover to feature the Dark Knight — is also notable for the armed and dangerous Batman seen breaking his vow against guns that would later become a cornerstone of the character's moral code. This is a startling and classic image from the beloved first year of the hero's adventures, rich with gothic shadows and nearly nightmarish graphics.
The famous holster cover of Detective Comics #33 is renowned for the shocking image of Batman carrying a firearm. Hailing from the Ruben Blades Collection, this striking example of Detective #33 has undergone professional restoration and presents a sturdy and clean appearance with bright colors and a solid spine. 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.
