*DC: An historic issue of Detective Comics from 1942 from the Midas Collection this week. As well as the long Batman & Robin lead story The Three Racketeers, by Bill Finger and Bob Kane (Batman’s creator who also did the cover), there’s a whole variety of other sleuths at work, some perhaps names well-remembered and other lost to time: Spy, Cliff Crosby, the Crimson Avenger, Larry Steele, Air Wave & Slam Bradley. Nice Batplane cover. This copy comes originally from the Jerome Wenker Collection, as marketed by American dealer Terry O’Neill and comes with a certificate to that effect. It has a clean and sharp cover image with very few tiny marks. The spine is a bit worn but intact, except that the front cover is off at the lower staple. There are small tear marks in that area and similar at the upper staple, although this is still attached. The centrefold is also detached, but other than that the staples are fine. Pages are towards off-white and in good order. High resolution images are available on request.
