Rare Batman Comic Books

Rare Batman Comic Books

Not as rare as some of the old comics show-cased here, the revamped, more modern Spider-Man from 2000 created quite some buzz and is a highly popular addition to the Marvel universe... perhaps helping to drag the publishers out of the "dark ages" of comic book sales in the mid to late 90s, where people were tired of cover gimmicks, semi-"limited editions", and a general lack of continuity or plot. This cover, which exists in different editions – and was even handed out free in quite some quantity to attract new readers – is drawn by Mark Bagley, with prices for the original ranging around $190. This issue of Detective Comics from 1939 introduced the "caped crusader" Batman. If you bought it for 10 cents back then and sold it at today's price, you'd find yourself 389,999.90 bucks richer. To come up with a striking new image in the course of the success of Superman, Batman creator Bob Kane (with co-creator Bill Finger) was inspired by Leonardo DA Vinci's bat-like flying machine, as well as movies of that age – like Zorro or Dracula**.
