This beautifully presenting and highly desirable key, Batman #426 is a 1st Printing. This vintage, single issue, 1st edition, Copper Age classic from 1988, featuring iconic cover art by Mike Mignola and the legendary first chapter of the "A Death in the Family" storyline is unquestionably a 'must-have' collectible for fans of Batman, Jason Todd, Joker, DC Comics in particular and/or classic US Comic books in general!


Key Facts:

Chapter 1 of the iconic "A Death in the Family" storyline


See pictures for condition, but I feel this book would rank Very Fine/Near Mint on the grading scale.

This comic book has never, thus far, undergone cleaning or pressing. I offer this information for any perspective buyers (whether collectors/investors/enthusiasts or speculators), who may be considering the option of having this comic pressed before possibly submitting it to be professionally graded, so as to even further enhance its value...

     

I am the original owner of this comic book and my home is 100% smoke and pet free. This book was purchased, read, immediately bagged and boarded and soon thereafter carefully placed within my personal comic book collection. This collector's item classic was well stored and cared for over the previous 38 years! 


An amazing addition to enhance any collection while simultaneously serving as a fantastic longterm investment...


All comic books are individually bagged and boarded and then professionally bubble wrapped and carefully packaged in a gemini mailer, so as to reach you safely and securely. 


Please review all photos provided as they are an integral part of the comic books overall description. All photos provided are of the actual book(s) that you are purchasing. Some other sellers use stock photos or just a single set of photos, reused over and over again for multiple sales, claiming that they're selling too many copies to take individual pictures of each and every comic book, but I will never do that. All of my listings will always contain photos of the actual book(s) that you are buying. And if the books are CGC Graded then I will always provide the CGC Certification Number so that you may verify it's validity for yourself and this will also allow you to review Grader's Notes, if any were provided by CGC. I do this because I wish there to be full transparency in all of my sales and because I know that I, personally, like to see exactly what it is that I'm buying before I make a purchase. 


I apologize for any glaring and/or shadows or reflections of my phone, myself and any overhead lighting fixtures which may be contained within the photos. Some reflections of my chandelier may appear as white spots upon the book, but by comparing the same areas in different photos you will see that these spots are merely reflections of the aforementioned lighting fixture.


Graded books may have scuffs or Newton Rings (the 'rainbow effect' or 'Newton Rings' are a normal occurrence when two different plastics (which have different refractive indexes) are placed together. It's what you sometimes see on a smartphone screen protector or on the edges of an LCD screen. This is a result of the inner sleeve (which holds the book) contacting the hard-plastic outer shell; the two different plastics have different refractive indexes and that sometimes creates a rainbow effect when they come into contact. CGC does not consider 'Newton Rings' to be defects. They do not affect the grade or condition of the book in any way, shape or form.).
