*DC: The star of the Midas Collection this week is Batman #92 from 1955, featuring the debut of Ace, the Bat-Hound, Batman’s canine companion. Ace was a German Shepherd dog who was found by Batman & Robin after his original owner was kidnapped. Later, when ‘adopted’ by Bruce Wayne, Batman improvised a hood-like mask for the dog that incorporated the bat-emblem as a dog tag, thus giving Ace a secret identity when he went into action as Bat-Hound. In 1964, when Julius Schwartz took over the Batman titles, Ace and several of the ‘sillier’ Batman family characters were written out. But you can’t keep a good dog down and post-Crisis, Ace has returned many times in comics and other media. This lovely looking copy has a great colour cover, with that fabulous blue sky night time background colour that seemed exclusive to the DC palette. The cover is unmarked, except for some faint reading creases which break colour at the spine and very minor wear at corners and edges, including a faint thumbprint near the Bat-Signal.  The staples are a little rusty with minimal rust migration (top staple a little loose), page quality a supple white to off-white. High resolution images are available on request.
