Looks like this is the reason why I couldn't find it anymore under the CGC serial number "1031180001" from the scan which @GreatCaesarsGhost had posted because the book is now no longer clumped in with about 20 other no name Universal copies, but instead is now the highest graded by a long shot Signature copy of Batman 1 and CL has now also provided a full back cover scan with Jerry's signature clearly on it: https://www.comiclink.com/itemdetail.asp?back=%2Fsearch.asp%3Fwhere%3Dsell%26title%3Dbatman%2B1%26ItemType%3DCB&id=1563310 No surprise that the CGC serial number indicates the books was graded back in the summer of 2011 when it seems to be acknowledged by many to be pretty much the "softest" time period when it comes to CGC grading. Book still looks like a 6.5 tops to me. That top left corner spine area is distracting to my eyes. lou_fine and Ltpink2002 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page 3 is his first appearance in a story, and contains his first murder. Also a key page. The last key page, to me anyway, is page 22, Catwomans first appearance out of disguise.

Adding to the allure of page 22 is the classic Batman line of "QUIET OR PAPA SPANK!" GreatCaesarsGhost, thedude and Action252Kid 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complete set of loose pages is probably around $75K break-up value, plus whatever you can get for the cover. woowoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
