*DC: Having spotlit Superman in our previous Golden Age DC Greats alert, we turn our attention this week to the Guardian of Gotham City. Batman #32 features not only a Joker story, but the origin of Robin retold (for the first time at some length), and a time-twisting tale in which our Dynamic Duo team up with the Three Musketeers! This copy is GD-; superficially nicer, but with  spine splits at top and botom up to the staples marring the profile of what would otherwise be a very nice mid-grade copy. Bargainaceous at £115! We then have a brace of Detective Comics – issues #111 GD £75 and 138 VG+ £225 (invisible Joker cover and story), co-starring Batman & Robin with Air Wave, Slam Bradley, Robotman, Slam Bradley and the Boy Commandos, among various others. Finally, a lovely copy of an early World’s Finest Comics, #18 dated Summer 1945. This 100-page squarebound extravaganza stars not only Batman & Robin, but Superman, Green Arrow, Star-Spangled Kid, Zatara, the Boy Commandos and others. For its vintage, this is an extraordinarily attractive copy, with an unmarred white cover background, tight binding, and remarkably well-preserved tight interiors, with none of the rolling or sliding normally associated with glued squarebound spines. Its only flaw is that at some point in the intervening decades, the lowest 1/2″ of the spine has somehow been cleanly removed, but still, a thing of beauty; FN- at £320.
