The Detective Comics Thread 5 5

[G.A.tor]

As you've learned, I read my GA comics, and Batman #1 is the best read of the GA. You get so much more bang for your buck than with Tec 27, Action 1, AA 16, Adventure 40, etc

 

First appearance of the most important villain in comics history, Joker. First appearance of, in all likelihood, the most important female villain in comics history, Catwoman.

 

Add that to the fact that it is the #1 issue of one of the three most recognized superhero characters in the world and you have quite a bit of comic book and pop culture history all rolled into one issue!

 

The Timely equivalent is Cap #1, a book I am very, very fond of. But Cap is Cap. We all love him, but most people in the world have no idea who he is. Everyone knows who Batman is.

 

Superman #1? Not even close. Only new ground mined there was the single superhero theme in one comic (inevitable with the sales on Action Comics), and pin-up back cover. Otherwise it is pretty much a reprint with a couple new pages tossed in for ballast.

 

So while I love Tec 27 - 40 very much and hope to have most of them again one day, my grail is, and always will be Batman #1

 

Damn, good case. You guys are making me want one.

 

I think I have an extra Treasury edition;)

Thanks Sha, but I was looking for a regular-sized edition.

 

Can you trim it down a bit?

not really polite to ask for some tr ...err, nevermind

oh trust us, we know...it has "everyone"s attention (as in me and 1koko and everyone else and their mother )

[Bat-Man]

Bats in general are my favorite, but you are right, the early Detectives are the best of the best. Excpet for Batman #1 that is, which is my all-time favorite book. Hands down, no contest.

 

 

I have to admit - Batman #1 has got some of the best stories in it of all time. I love Batman #1. The whole book is incredible, you are correct! My personal favorite part is the end of the last story where Joker "dies." The classic line by Batman. Batman to Robin when Joker "dies." - "he delt his last hand and lost. And when the flesh rots from the bones the smile on his face will still echo on into eternity."

 

Don't think I have the wording just right. But man that last line gave me chills when I first read it. An absolute classic book with stories that deserve to be in Batman #1.

 

I also love the story in Batman #1 that was meant originally for Tec #38 but got bumped. I like that its the final GA solo Batman and he kills giants in it!

 

Man I need to get myself a real copy of Batman #1 someday and stop reading my DC archives reprints!

 

 

Obviously sir, you are a man of taste and distinction. Your stock is soaring in my eyes right now!!

Same to you! It is very nice to see a fellow collector express the same amount of joy in the books. And I agree you have exquisite taste!

 

First I'll get my opinion on Superman #1 out of the way. Superman #1 is a book that does deserve historical credit for the reasons you listed but at the same time I myself would never seek to own do to the fact it is a book of reprinted stories. Superman #1 is a great book and worth a bundle - but in my opinion it does not weigh in at all next to the likes of Batman #1 and Cap #1! Agreed.

 

And as for Batman #1 it is no question to me why it is the #2 (only after Tec 27 as we all know) Batman book on the all time most "valuable." Batman #1 is really a mixture of what I would consider a "perfect balance" of Batman as a whole. Like we all know, the original Batman adventures in the Pre-Robin run where tales of darker and more graphic nature. Also the reason we loved them so much and seek them out. Batman arose out in the shadow of the great depression and went on to tell a much more vivid story of true life than any other comic could ever begin too. While Superman was the perfect being and was the happy jolly hero. Batman served a purpose that was much deeper and real. And I wonder if Bob Kane even realized it then. But Batman was a symbol of a more "believable" real life, and the darker side of humanity. I treasure the original solo Batman stories. And I know I speak for many collectors that the birth of Robin would forever "taint" Batman's original demeanor (until the Bronze age) and he would turn into something he was not - the happy bizarre character of the night. I did not like the change in Batman (but I still collect all the books!). What I am getting at is Batman #1 arose at the changing of times for Batman. And when Batman #1 was produced (and again I know we all already know this) it was a compilation of the best of the best stories available at the time of what they had. DC jumbled things around and we have a Tec 40 with a Joker cover and no Joker story. But it all worked out well in the end. Batman #1 is the perfect balance because it keeps Batman's original sense of demeanor throughout, yet he can be seen as almost "re-birthing" (changing) throughout the book from what he began as not even a full year before (tec 38 itself is the intial "re-birth" though) Batman #1 I hold in a special place because it is his first issue but at the same time it was his final solo mission and final book where Batman was still the absolute dark "gothic" avenger in all his glory. And the final solo story in Batman #1 is a bang! Batman #1 marks the end of an era for Batman and it is also the beginning of another. What other book has such a blend? None. Batman #1 is an absolute masterpiece with all the right elements for content to make it stay in my opinion the greatest comic book read of all time. No contest. And for the ultimate Batman fan it has everything you can ask for.

 

Batman #1 has gem's of stories. The first two stories of the most recognizable villain in comic-dom. And yes it even has another first appearance of Catwoman. Truly everything and the kitchen sink was rolled into this.

 

And again the final line of the final story is an example of the best writing and one liner any book at the time had. I literally had chills when I read it.

 

 

Batman #1 is a Batman #1 but it is also the #1 Batman read of all. No other "#1" reads like a Batman #1.

 

 

Finally

 

In a sense:

Batman #1 - The end for Batman, The beginning for Batman - The end of an era, the beginning of an era.

 

 

 

Batman #1 to any individual who has never read this book, a gem is awaiting for your delight.

 

To Bill Finger, Jerry Robinson, and Bob Kane - I salute your masterpiece.

good points Bill. I'm not a big Robin fan, so I have always preferred the Pre Robin Tecs over Bat issues. I would take a Bat 1 over a Tec 38 though. Bat 1 does have a lot of cool interior 1sts (thumbs u

I'm not going to argue with Batman #1's first place slot, thanks in large part to the significance of the characters it introduced, but in terms of enjoyability, a very good underrated book (cover-to-cover) in my mind is the 1939 NY World's Fair.

I have heard others speak fondly of it but I've never held one. What makes it special to you?

[mt1000]

ive never read batman # 1 were can i get the reprint?Anyways id do anything in this world to own a tec 28-37 especially the bat covers i cant find any and if i did they would have to be low grade but thats my goal hopefully 1 day. I can most certainly say i WILL NEVER own a tec 27

They are truly great books.

 

As for reprints I would suggest buying the DC archives:

 

Batman Vol 1. (Tec 27-50)

Dark Knight Vol 1. (Batman 1-4)

 

They retail for about $50 and they are very nice hardcover books.

 

But you can get them used on eBay for a lot cheaper.

 

But if you just want Batman #1 - The "DC millennium edition" reprint is a nice Batman #1 reprint which should cost only $10 or if you want to get a nice reprint you can get the DC 1st which were big reprints made in the 1970's and are exact duplicates.

Again (not to be cheesey here) but since you have had the honor of owning one and reading one you are a much better man than I. (thumbs u

 

To bad it is 2010 instead of say like 1946. Otherwise I could just walk down to the used book store and pic me up a Batman #1 for about 5 cents...... And I am sure the cashier would be like "Son why are you buying this old thing it was printed in 1940 - it is 6 years old."

Always odd when a book from the GA decreases.....

 

And as we discussed in another thread Tec 35 has increased 26% in one year on the OSPG making it the biggest GA gainer. 26% is a massive gain (but the values are still not accurate for market value on the Tecs )

Glad I have a copy

Glad I have a copy

 

And a darn fine one at that! (thumbs u

 

#35 is pretty much tied now for favorite cover with my favorite cover #31. Once I land a 35 I will be happy. Hoping to find one in at least a 2.0 but hopefully better like a 2.5 (like my 31) or a 3.0. Also hoping to find one that does not destroy the bank. Haha.

I dunno about not destroying the bank

[Mac Man]

Here's a dumb question, but better than the dumb question not asked I suppose. I've seen the Oreo Tec 27 reprint and aside from having a larger space on the top 1/3 of the book, it seems like the size is spot on (versus the over-sized reprint). What about the interior? Are the insides exact reprints as well?

 

I have a gorgeous Action 1 reprint and I'd like to add a Tec 27 reprint to the pile as well. Thoughts?

I have had a ton of those oreo 27's over the years. Finally settled on a CGC 9.8

 

Okay so this oreo giveway 27 is not just a 27 what it is, is it is the batman story from tec 27 the tec 38 batman story and the first joker story from batman 1 all printed into one book with the cover of tec 27. And for the record it is called a Tec 27 reprint even though it does not include all of Tec 27 and it has other stories thrown in.
