Created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger as a dark, brooding combination of Superman and The Shadow, the Batman quickly became a cultural phenomenon. Bob Kane wiped the grime off of Gotham and added a youthful cohort to the Batman mythos, resulting in this triumphant first issue, an instant classic that sold out nearly overnight.

One of the most famous comics of the Golden Age, featuring one of the most iconic covers, Batman #1 is the perfect cornerstone for any new Golden Age comic book investor. The comic features not only the first appearance of the Catwoman, but also that of the immortal Joker, whose popularity may even eclipse that of his caped adversary. “The importance to collectors and investors is plain,” said Vincent Zurzolo, ComicConnect’s Chief Operating. “Batman #1 is consistently amongst the top ten most desirable comics in the world, always demanding impressive prices and always a super-hot item in our auctions.”

ComicConnect is offering two copies in the Spring Special Auction – Batman #1 CGC 4.5 and a beautifully restored copy, Batman #1 CGC 6.0 Ext(P).

Golden Age collectors will also find Action Comics #1 NG, Action Comics #7 CGC 1.8, All Star Comics #8 CGC 5.5, Archie Comics #1 CGC 6.5, Detective Comics #29 CGC 1.5, Detective Comics #31 CGC 4.0, Detective Comics #31 CGC 1.0, Green Hornet Comics #1 CGC 8.0, Human Torch #12 CBCS 8.5, and Pep Comics #22 CGC 9.0 R.
