Galen130 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Batman: The Cult #2, limited deluxe series. This series features Deacon Blackfire, and appearances by Robin. Bernie Wrightson had a big hand in this comic series. I have two copies of this issue, with different grade estimates and prices. I believe this comic to be in Very Fine minus condition, or better. This comic shows hardly any wear on the spine and there are no staples to worry about. The spine does have a couple of rough spots on it that I believe to be glue from the production process. There is light blunting of the spine corners (especially on the back cover), and there are no spine stress creases/ticks to speak of. The front cover shows some very light rubs to the gloss in a few spots, especially in the lower right quadrant. There is also a small 'dent' in the cover, just above the chain around Batman's wrist. It barely breaks ink. The back cover also shows very light rubs to the gloss in spots around the page, along with some light edge blunting and wear near both spine corners. There is a small tear in the paper (not the whole cover) near the top spine corner. $4, PLUS SHIPPING (1st copy) Edited July 4, 2022 by Galen130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie Wrightson had a big hand in this comic series. I believe this comic to be in Very Fine/Near Mint condition, or better. This comic shows hardly any wear on the spine and there are no staples to worry about. There is very light blunting of the spine corners, and there are no spine stress creases/ticks to speak of. Both covers show a few very light rubs to the gloss in a few spots. This is a pretty clean comic book, but I hesitate to give it a Near Mint estimate because of the scuffs to the gloss. $6, PLUS SHIPPING Edited July 4, 2022 by Galen130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Batman: The Cult #3, limited deluxe series. This series features Deacon Blackfire, and appearances by Robin. Bernie Wrightson had a big hand in this comic series. This comic is rough-looking. I believe this comic to be in Fine plus condition, or better (but probably not). This comic shows hardly any wear on the spine and there are no staples to worry about. There are rough glues spots along the spine that come from the production process. There is light blunting of the spine corners, as well as a small handful of spine stress creases/ticks…with a few that very lightly break the ink. Both covers show light wear to the ink and paper, dings, scuffs, indentations, and light finger bends. There are plenty of cosmetic scratches on the covers as well. $3, PLUS SHIPPING Edited July 4, 2022 by Galen130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 Batman: The Cult #4, limited deluxe series. This comic concludes the series. Bernie Wrightson had a big hand in this comic series. This comic is in rough shape, but in a different way compared to the prior listing. I believe this comic to be in Fine plus condition, or better (probably not). This comic shows hardly any wear on the spine and there are no staples to worry about. There are rough glues spots along the spine that come from the production process. There is light blunting of the spine corners, as well as a few spine stress creases/ticks that very lightly break the ink. There are bends in both covers near a few corners, especially the bottom left corner of the back cover.

The back cover shows rough edges near the spine corners, while all four page corners of the covers shows light blunting. $3, PLUS SHIPPING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Unfortunately, I did not collect this next limited series, though I wish I had. I have no desire to complete it now, so the next two books are fillers for someone else. 1st Print copy of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Book Three. From Frank Miller’s epic 4-part limited series, this issue features an appearance by Superman as well as the ‘death’ of Joker. I believe this comic to be in Very Fine minus condition, or better. This comic shows hardly any wear along the spine and there are no staples to worry about. There is light blunting of the spine corners, with wear near those corners on the back cover edges. There are no spine stress creases/tics, but the spine bindings on both covers do show light ink breaks from being read. The front cover shows a ‘scratch’ indentation on the right part of the Batman emblem, which doesn’t appear to break the ink. The back cover shows some light wear in spots around the page, especially along the spine. The front cover shows an odd vertical blue (?) mark up from the center of the page. It doesn't go all the way up the cover, only about two-thirds. I think it's a production defect...I'm not 100% $15, PLUS SHIPPING SOLD Edited September 12, 2022 by Galen130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) 13th Print edition of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, softcover trade paperback. This edition was published by Warner Books. I believe this book to be in Fine/Very Fine condition, or better. There is light blunting of the spine corners, and there are no spine stress creases/tics to speak of. The lower right corner of the back cover shows some ‘scratches’ near the spine. There are a couple of small nicks and indentations on both covers, some of which lightly break the ink. The bottom page corners of both covers shows small bend creases that lightly break the ink. There are hand/fingerprints on both covers that won’t come off without proper cleaning…if that’s even possible. This book was read a few times, but it could be in much worse condition. $12 SHIPPED (Media Mail) Edited July 5, 2022 by Galen130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 The next three listings are for Batman: The Long Halloween. These are all the comics I have left from the series. The rest were sold off. I would have kept the series, but no one could forecast Tim Sale's death at such a young-ish age. I have no desire to collect them all again, so I'm parting with what I have left. R.I.P. Mr. Sale.

Galen130 Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 FYI, I recently noticed that some scans may show white spots on them. The scanner glass was dirty, so I cleaned it. I won't go back and look through previous scans, so if you see something in a listing, feel free to PM and ask if they are indeed defects. Thanks!!!

Unfortunately, the bottom right corner of the entire comic has a bend through it, which is worse on the front cover. There is light ink breakage at these bends.

They are very recent and will clean off. $12, PLUS SHIPPING Edited July 7, 2022 by Galen130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 Batman: The Ultimate Evil #1 and #2, limited series.

Both books show light blunting to the spine corners, as well as light roughening of the back covers near the bottom spine corner (especially the second book, which shows ink breakage).

Issue #2 shows a few mild finger bends on both covers that will press out.

However, there is very light wear in spots along the spine on the back cover, as well as a mild scratch near the bottom spine corner. The back also shows a couple of 'dimples' near the center of the spine that don't appear to break ink. Both cover spine bindings show some very light ink breakage from being read...mostly on the front cover. Book #2 shows about the same defects, minus the scratch on the back cover near the bottom spine corner, and the spine 'dimples'. $12, PLUS SHIPPING (both books) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are little white ‘dots’ on the front cover near the bottom spine corner and around the penny. These are kind of odd as they don't appear to affect the paper.
