jkrk Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Looks like this thread is a success. Great books. I still can't get over how good that #38 looks I guess that's why you can't :buy a book by it's cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryw7 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I posted this book in another thread and everyone was kind enough to confirm my opinion not to restore this book. That book looks much better than a 3.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CW Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 I recently decided to start working on an early Batman issue run of Det comics 28-38 but after seeing that issue #40 and the Scarecrow cover in the #60-70's I am thinking I may have to amend the bound of the collection. Great books they are just too cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrin_Radd Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I too have wanted to collect pre-Robin Detectives. But they are way too expensive. Possibly a few beater copies at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquirecomics Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Here are a bunch of mine. I won't post my Detective #45 CGC 7.0 as two copies are above. I also have a #31 CGC 5.0 but it is in my private collection now. And two key issues: First Riddler First Martian Manhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
