I'll join the thread, as who could resist such a high grade double digit TEC for only a few hundred bucks?
It looks so clean and perfect in hand, I love it.

The photo doesn't do it justice, and I would easily believe it was a higher grade if looking at it raw. The notes on it mention: light creasing to cover, light shadow full bottom of back cover (honestly not visible at all, I really struggle to see it), light spine stress lines to cover small (nothing color breaking), multiple staple tear (amounts to two small ticks by the top staple).

I think almost everyone agrees it is the Joker on the cover of Tec 40. He's just dressed incognito. He just escaped from jail so there must be a huge manhunt for him. Attention all cars, be on the lookout for a guy with green hair, a huge mouth with red lips and and snow white skin. First thing he probably did when he escaped is steal that overcoat and hat.

Batman 11 is the first cover we know has the Joker on the cover.

Detective 62 hit the stands 2 months before Batman 11.  I haven't read the story in Tec 62, though.  Is the Joker on the cover an imposter or something?

I'm confused.  Those dates mirror my comment that Tec 62 came 2 months earlier than Bat 11.
