Detective Comics #102 has Dick Sprang coming up with a classic cover after also illustrating the bizarre "The House That Was Held for Ransom" — in which the Joker steals the entire home of a rich old man! Batman and Robin quickly investigate, of course, and find themselves trapped by the Joker in a plot that involves pigeons and the proverbial quicksand!

Highest-graded copy in the CGC Census! This copy of Detective Comics #102 is in a nearly immaculate state of preservation, arriving in our Event Auction 80 years after its publication, this book reveals no indication of its age, there are no visible signs of wear on this cover, it is truly a wonder to behold. In a surrealist turn, Dick Spang’s cover illustration shows the Joker speeding away with a miniature house on his back as an enraged Dynamic Duo shake their fists in impotent rage. The playful menace presented on this cover really comes to life thanks to the amazing condition of this book which has preserved every detail perfectly. One of the top two copies on the census, this is sure to be a hotly contested lot come auction time.
