Detective #35 marks the beginning of Batman’s reign as the title’s regular cover star — featuring a wild image that captures all the gruesome drama of the Dark Knight's first year on the newsstands. (Readers also got their first look at Batman's own car, although it wasn't yet called the Batmobile.) These rare early Detective books are vital to understanding how the character quickly vaulted to the top of the collective consciousness of Golden Age comic readers. These are also the books that would directly inspire the early-70s creation of a "New Look" Batman as envisioned by legendary Batman artists Neal Adams and Jim Aparo, and once again referenced for the pioneering blockbuster Batman film of 1989.
For all intents and purposes this book is signed by Jerry Robinson, creator of the Joker. That is pretty cool. This early Bat-issue is among the rarest of all pre-Robin Batman appearances and is avidly sought after by collectors. Collectors looking for a copy of this important book, without breaking the bank, would do well to cast an appreciative eye over this copy, which boasts an unverified Jerry Robinson signature on the first page. The comic is in pretty impressive condition for its grade which makes it a copy well worth pursuing. Early Batman appearances have been extremely popular in recent auctions, and are getting harder and harder to track down, so do not let this one pass you by.
Overstreet Guide 2022 VG- (3.5) value = $33,250.
