RareHighGrade Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Bat-Hound, your Detective group shot reminds me of the Metropolis booth at conventions: multiple copies of key and scarce books, making them all seem common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detective-migration Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Must keep this thread going. Vintage early 1950's !! [/img] Wow! I'm having trouble finding just one Detective 187. Found two dealers that have a copy. Both GVG but one has tape on the cover and the other has tan pages. How often do they come up on eBay? I've seen 2 but they were in pretty bad shape.

Zonker Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I had suspected 187 was tough, but this thread is the first confirmation I've seen. A while back, I wanted to read all the pre-Batman 234 Two-Face stories-- they've all been reprinted in various places except for this one. It took me forever to find a copy on eBay. I had it on daily email alerts via My Favorite Searches, and I think I only saw 2 or 3 copies show up in a year or so of searching. I finally settled on a taped spine copy (and I hate tape ), just to read the story. The cover with him hanging on the hands of the massive clock is an iconic Two Face image-- Neal Adams used that as one of the central flashbacks in the Batman 234 story that introduced me to the character.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I want to read the story too, so tan pages are a big turnoff. I wasn't aware until recently that it's not the real Two-Face on the cover. Here's a page from the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CycloneComics Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I`m working on having them all in the census. Have to find them for sale first. Anyone else out there collect like this or am I the only nut. This is a tough book to find, I have been collecting them for many years. Anyone have one for sale.
