Detective Comics, the most famous comic book from DC Comics, along with Action Comics (the name "DC" comes from Detective Comics). Detective Comics #1 was published in March 1937, and Action Comics was not published until June 1938, but Superman appeared in Action Comics #1, and Batman did not make his debut until Detective Comics #27, which was not published until March 1939, so while Superman predated Batman, Detective Comics predated Action Comics! Amazingly, Detective Comics is still being published, and there have been over 1,000 issues. It is of course most closely connected to Batman, who originated in Detective #27, and who debuted in his own comic, Batman #1 in March 1940. And in recent years, thanks to the many Batman movies, he has surely surpassed Superman as DC's #1 character!

Please note that we don't use a "comic guide" grading system, and OUR grading scale is completely different from standard comic book grading. Our "very good" is completely different from a comic book graded "very good". We provide images of the comic book covers, plus 2 interior 2-page spreads, which should allow you to get a sense of the condition of this comic book.

This is one of an excellent collection of 138 vintage comic books we were consigned, which we are auctioning in 138 separate auctions. NONE of these comics have any restoration (unless noted in our condition description) and all of them came from a small group of collectors who purchased them mostly when they were first published, and none have been "slabbed" or "graded"! And EVERY one of these 138 comics (including some really excellent ones) start at $1 with truly no reserve. This is the kind of buying opportunity every comic book collector dreams of, and when these auctions close on January 16, every one of these comics will have a new owner!
