Bob Kane classic cvr/art; 1st app. of Thomas Wayne & Martha Wayne. Batman gun holster on cvr. Origin of Batman. (11/39)
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.
Overstreet Guide 2021 GD (2.0) value = $15,600
