1940
issues 1 thru 10
Have you ever wanted to own the first 10 issues of Batman ?
Now is your chance.

A couple of the other issues are lower grades, but they all are supple and great reading copies.
These issues will only be sold as a set.
Batman #1
(DC, 1940)
Batman #1 retells the origin from Detective #33 and contains the first appearance of The Joker, who is easily the most recognizable villain in the history of villains. You'll also see the first appearance of The Cat who would eventually become Catwoman. One of the best things about Batman is that being only human, he doesn't have any personal physical weaknesses, like Superman's vulnerability to kryptonite, but has character flaws that can be exploited by his enemies. This comic can easily be the crown jewel in your Batman collection and you'll make all your friends green with envy when you proudly show it off

A written detective murder fiction story about a Detective John Burton, jokes, puzzles and some ads for upcoming Superman, Flash, Batman, and other DC hero comics, a classic Daisy Red Ryder ad and an ad for mail-order fireworks(Remember this was 1941)!
