American Update: Batmania Extra! Watching The Detectives inc 1st Clayface II, 1st Man-Bat
*DC: As you’ll recall, we’ve been regularly updating our lists with new issues of Bruce Wayne’s famous alter ego, but this week we have a ‘Brucie Bonus’ – almost thirty issues of Detective Comics, the series in which Batman made his first appearance and stars to this day! This sequence opens with #290 – Robin as a robot, how can you resist? – and continues to #504, filling many gaps in our inventory, with not only the Caped Crusader in the forefront, but additional features starring (at various times) Martian Manhunter, Roy Raymond, Elongated Man, Hawkman, and Batgirl and Robin solos! Depicted are #298 (PR/FA £30), the first appearance of the second and most famous Clayface and #400 (GD p £50), a Neal Adams-drawn extravaganza introducing Batman’s sinister ‘Dark Mirror’, the Man-Bat! SORRY, PICTURED ITEMS NOW SOLD
