American Comics Update: The Midas Collection/Batmania/DC Debuts: Batman #63 with first Killer Moth + the Joker
*DC: From 1951, the second of our Golden Age Batman gems from the Midas Collection this week is a real doozy. Not only does it cover feature the debut of a recurring member of Batman’s Rogues Gallery, Killer Moth, it also has a fabulous lead Joker story ‘The Joker’s Crime Costumes’, plus a third story telling of a flying saucer invasion from Saturn. What a line-up! Scripts by Bill Finger and others, art by Bob Kane, Dick Sprang and others. This is a reasonable copy with good colours. The spine is worn and creased but more or less intact; an extra staple has been added at the top of the spine to seal an upper spine split of a few cm. There is some edge wear including a 2 cm tear at centre right edge without loss. Upper staple well attached; lower just attached. Nice pages are off-white towards white.
PICTURED: BATMAN #63 GD £350
