Dick Sprang cover/art; Joker cover & story


Batman #55 remains a top collectible for "The Case of the 48 Jokers!" — as the Joker realizes his constant clowning is keeping him too busy to commit crimes. He solves this problem by deciding to franchise his criminal identity across all 48 states. This leaves Batman and Robin busier than ever, leading up to wild confrontation in a booby-trapped house with Batman trapped in an oversized Batsuit! Dick Sprang's classic cover is already a great reason to own this issue, but there's also two beloved bizarre backing stories. "Bruce Wayne, Rookie Policeman!" has the socialite playboy joining the Gotham City PD and fighting the mob; "The Bandit of the Bells!" boasts the Gong as one of the Caped Crusader's most bizarre one-and-done villains.

This Batman #55 features the Joker in all of his creepy glory at an impressive 8.5 grading, with only seven copies ranked higher in the CGC Census! That's all reflected in a vibrant color strike for Dick Sprang’s classic cover, supported by a strong spine and sturdy construction. Batman has just marked 85 years of being one of the world's most beloved characters, and these vital early titles remain top investments for collectors. 2025 has already seen the debut of Season 5 of the Harley Quinn animated series — with at least five more Batman series and features currently in development.
