American Update: Batmania continues: Detective Comics #474 – First Modern Appearance of Deadshot
*DC: Originally a one-shot (pardon) villain in Batman #59 (1950), Deadshot was revived with spectacular success in the acclaimed Englehart/Rogers run of Detective Comics. Returning in 1977’s Detective #474, ditching his previous tuxedo for a more streamlined and menacing ensemble, he was portrayed as a multi-faceted character and caught the imagination of the readership, making multiple appearances over the ensuing decades, a mainstay in both the Suicide Squad and Secret Six hit series, and appearing on TV in the Arrow show, and on the big screen in the Suicide Squad movie. This copy of Deadshot’s second (first modern) appearance is VF+, cents copy, with only very minor wear at the lower front cover corner preventing a higher grade. Tight and flat with sharp corners and vivid red background with no fading. On sale at £70. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
