Pick you favorite pre-Robin Tec!!

[showcase4]

Extremely popular 'round these parts are the highly desirable and often elusive Key pre-Robin Tecs.

 

This poll lets you pick your favorite / most desirable, and we'll see which issue is the most popular here on the Boards (assuming more then like 3 or 4 of you vote )

So, to define "favorite" ---- let's say all are Fine+ unrestored with off-white pages (so condition is consistant), and whichever copy you pick is free, but you can never sell or trade it (keeps money / resale potential out of the equation)

 

enjoy!

 

(and of course, please feel to free to tell us why )

I would have picked 'Tec #27, but since that wasn't a choice, I'll pick the #31.

( I didn't put 27 on the list, becasue polls where 50 out of 50 people all pick the same thing are pretty useless )

I see, then you should take #31 off the list as well

 

just kidding.

Value for the money, I'd pick 37. Poor man's 31

[telerites]

Has always been #31 for me.

[Transplant]

What? No #30?

+1, 37 is the only Pre Robin Bat cover i have !

Looking at these covers in one thread makes me appreciate how wonderful some of the early GA DC superhero covers were. Action and Adventure had some great covers around that time, and the More Fun Spectre run is great as well. (thumbs u

Tec 33 is an easy pick for me. The thing that separated Batman from all the other non-powered "mystery men" of the day was his origin.

 

 

 

 

Okay. And the costume.

[seank]

31 for me, but I'd still take 38 over any of those. I know I'm in the minority on that, but I really like that issue.

[Straw-Man]

31.

[Mr.Diggler]

I went with 29. Nice action cover with Bats swinging through the window. The skull in the background helps too.

[Silver Surfer]

Good question but a very tough call. Going to have to think about this for a while. #31 is probably first on the list but from there? How about we rank them #1-#4, that would be interesting.

31 Iconic Bat cover as he looms over a castle...Full moon and rolling fog (thumbs u

 

35 second for me..the BEST splash page of them all for sure

[Dark Knight]

#31 hands down for me then #29

+1

Why is #35 considered a classic cover? Is it because of the needle?

The number 35 is one of my least fav tec covers from the early days. I cringe everytime I look at it.

 

#29 and especially 31 are two of what I would call best covers ever in comics

31 for me, but I'd still take 38 over any of those. I know I'm in the minority on that, but I really like that issue.

 

Im in that same minority !

Hi,

 

I have all of these at one time. My favorite would be a tie between the 31, and 35, but I would maybe give the 31 the edge, so the 31.

 

The 35 is classic not becuase of the needle, but becuase of the large image of The Batman and his ears going up into the logo.

 

I could be wrong, but I bet alot of the voters who had #31 as their favorite, had the 35 as their second choice.

 

Take nothing away from the 29 because it is also a killer cover, as is the 33 (has Batman with "45" in his gun holster (very Shadow-like)

 

I agree with the other post, the many idf not all people consider the splash page to Detective 35 to be one of the best splash pages in comic book history, if not the Best!! (large image of Batman with the 45's smoking)...WOW!!!!

 

 

 

 

There were a number of documents that surfaced that indicated that the Batman was directly taken from the Shadow (note the cover of the Partners of Peril from 1936, and the similarities to the above Splash page from Detective 35 (1940).
