ComicLink Comments:
This Neal Adams homage cover to Detective Comics #31 (which sported one of the very best Batman cover images of the Golden Age) makes this one of the most popular covers in Batman's history Offered here is a high-grade example of Batman #227 that's certified at CGC's Very Fine 8.0 tier. It also has retained near newsstand-fresh Off-White to White Pages.
Batman's self-titled run is one of the most significant in the history of comic books and understandably one of the most widely collected. It is the run which introduced the Joker, one of the most recognizable villains in the history of comics, as well as other major members of Batman's extended family including Catwoman, Alfred, Vicki Vale, and Mr. Freeze. It is also where Batman got his very first detailed origin (Batman #47), where the Batmobile first got its stylized look, and where Gotham City got its name. Most importantly, the launch of Batman #1 in Spring of 1940 just over a year after the introduction of the hero in May 1939, established Batman as one of the two most important heroes in the early DC stable. Only Superman before him had received such an honor. It is understandable why these 1940s and 1950s issues are so coveted and why quality examples that come on the market are quickly snapped up and tucked away in private collections.
Of every character within DC's stable of heroes, Batman's popularity throughout the generations is the most enduring. Bruce Wayne is endowed not with super powers, but with a unique determination that drives him towards superior effort and superior insight, enabling Batman to do superhuman things. That he is universally relatable to us all as human beings is why the character has remained a cultural icon for so long. Batman has been one of the most widely appreciated superhero characters throughout the world for over 60 years now, and has been featured in countless comic books, numerous movies, his own TV show, video games and more T-shirts than we can imagine. Batman has appeared more often on the silver screen than any other superhero and his most recent incarnation in Christopher Nolan's mega-blockbusters has made the character more popular than ever. It is likely that Batman will continue to be a favorite of hobbyists, moviegoers, and children all around the world for centuries to come!
