Lot: 1 x Comic Book Facsimile 

BATMAN (1940 DC Comics)

#1 Cover FACS-C - Facsimile Edition Blank Variant (2023 Modern Age) Mint Grade Range

Synopsis:

This 2023 facsimile edition faithfully reproduces the original 1940 debut story, presenting Bruce Wayne’s origin as he witnesses the tragic murder of his parents and vows vengeance on Gotham’s criminals. It captures his transformation into Gotham’s masked protector alongside his young sidekick, Dick Grayson, as they face early rogues like the Joker, Catwoman, and the sinister Hugo Strange. Including all the original ads, backup tales, and tone-setting artwork, it offers modern readers a time capsule of Golden Age comic storytelling, showcasing the noir-inflected roots of the Caped Crusader. The blank variant cover invites personal homage from artists and fans right before Comic Con season kicks into full swing.
