Bob Kane/Jerry Robinson cover/art; 1st (and only) GA Scarecrow cover
The Scarecrow began as a startlingly original Batman villain created by Bill Finger, Bob Kane, and Jerry Robinson. Surprisingly, the macabre murderer only made two Golden Age appearances before being shelved for several years. Detective Comics #73 features the second of those beloved early turns, as well as the Scarecrow's only Golden Age cover appearance. Of course, the character was later successfully revived by DC in the Silver Age. From there, both the Scarecrow and his alter-ego of Dr. Jonathan Crane found big-screen fame in director Christopher Nolan's acclaimed Dark Knight trilogy of Batman films — ensuring that early appearances by the creepy criminal remain top collectibles.

Hardcore fans of the Scarecrow take heed, this incredibly rare book is now available at auction once again. The one and only Golden Age appearance of the terrifying villain is quite hard to find, as there are fewer than 100 copies on the census. This CVA-certified example is in very impressive condition, boasting bright reds and yellows that contrast strongly with the purples and blues of the two main figures. The comic is structurally sound, with a rigid spine and a clean perimeter that has withstood the test of time. The book does not show up at auction with regularity, so, if you are in the market for a copy, you should seriously consider bidding come hammer time.
Overstreet Guide 2020 VF- (7.5) value = $.7,500.
