Hepcat Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) Great purple colour on a cover before the title was dragged down into buffoonery by the TV show! Edited May 20 by Hepcat Brkndwnbus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grader notes: light bends to cover light creasing to cover light spine stress lines breaks color small, light stain right center of front cover Not visible in the scan is an area on the front cover just under the CCA stamp to the middle of the text block "Ruler of the Bewitched Valley", that has light finger bend creasing. Without that I could see this book at 7.0 or 7.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brkndwnbus Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 The only book I have doubles of is Batman #113. I still am on the hunt for a better copy than what I have, but these two are decent enough for a book I have trouble tracking down in general.

I got very lucky and won my first copy along with Batman #197 in an auction for $150. The second copy I got from a local convention as the show was closing for $120 down from $145. Based on the prices I have seen on eBay and some other auction sites, I consider myself lucky to get them at the price I did even if the condition isn't awesome. Some auctions on eBay are going for $100-$200 more and aren't as good from what I can tell from the pictures provided. .

The Zur en arrh Batman is one of my favorites (especially since Grant Morrison did his take on it), and it's cool to see him get a resurgence in the modern books. I got the (hard-ish to find) Morrison Black Casebook TPB, the excellent Tony Daniel Batman 679 variant and all of the recent modern Zur en arrh covers. Now I need to luck into a good price on a copy of 113! Edited May 22 by Jesse-Lee Brkndwnbus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, my silver age and golden age collecting of Batman and Detective Comics is based on the issues referenced in The Black Casebook or other issues Morrison pulled from in their run.

I personally passed because i have other priority but the condition of this book was looking satisfying for me. What about you? Are you looking for an high copy? ** Just been sold for 250, as i seen on the ebay database, the books was sold 1 month ago but relisted, i assume it wasnt paid by the buyer... the past sale was over 400!

I'm not looking for a high grade copy, but I have other priorities now also, so I can wait on this book. That copy would have been fine for me in that condition though.

Jesse-Lee Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Got these as part of a larger FB Marketplace lot buy today: This one unfortunately has a big chunk of the back cover missing, but the centerfold pin-up is intact. She looks great in Mylar. Brkndwnbus, BA773 and hchill25 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
