Auction History Result 5t0269 DETECTIVE COMICS #152 comic book 1949 Mooney Batman cover, Vicki Vale Ace Girl Photographer! Date Sold 1/16/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Comic Book (measures 7 1/4" x 10 1/4" [18 x 26 cm]) (Learn More) 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! Artist: Jim Mooney Important Added Info: Contents: Cover by Jim Mooney. Stories by Don C. Cameron and unknown. Art by Carmine Infantino, Bob Kane, Charles Paris, Jimmy Thompson, Howard Sherman, Ruben Moreira and unknown. Vicki Vale gets the chance to do a great story on "Three dead men who live today because of the Batman," but a new Jekyll and Hyde criminal almost destroys the good this story will do. Don't miss Batman and Robin in "The Goblin of Gotham City!" with art by Bob Kane and Charles Paris. Plus: Pow-Wow Smith, Indian Lawman in "The Train Robbers of Roaring River!" with story by Don C. Cameron and pencils by Carmine Infantino; Robotman in "Robotbody Meets a Body!" with art by Jimmy Thompson; Slam Bradley in "Too Many Morgans!" with art by Howard Sherman; and A Casebook Mystery "The Case of the Murdered Miner!" with art by Ruben Moreira.

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! Condition: good.
