I love that book! The cover art and story it tells is great, and those colors are sharp. Reminds me of my son too :cloud9: Well done sir. (thumbs u

Just picked this up from the bay, and I plan to use it as my everyday wallet :) Looks to be about a VG, and TBD if I'll need to marry the interior pages.

Would be interesting to know how Batman spent his Christmas holidays in the pre-Robin era? Somehow I don't see him hanging out with Santa by himself...

 

Curiously, there was never a Christmas cover in Detective Comics as far as I can tell. Between 1945-1948 there was a Christmas (or at least winter-themed) cover each year in the Batman series, but then never again.

Interesting point that hadn't occurred to me before. There were some Christmas covers in other DC books from that era. Here are a couple.

Very cool circa 1948 I believe.

 

Here's the one I carry my spare change around in with a bonus... 1949 Foo Lee Gum premium with the VERY rare badge. I looked for years for the badge, then found this. I had no idea the badge originally came in a wallet.
