American Update: Quirky Batmania! Star-Spangled Comics #88 – Robin Declares War On Batman
*DC: A double dose of Batmania this week! An often-overlooked and very seldom seen Golden Age DC title Star-Spangled Comics was, in its latter days, home to a solo strip for Robin the Boy Wonder – though often, as with this issue, Batman turned up on some pretext or another, in this case a plot-generated feud between the Dynamic Duo! Other features include Merry the Girl of 1,000 Gimmicks, a genuinely obscure super-heroine who shoplifted her series from her adoptive brother, the Star-Spangled Kid; maritime adventurer Captain Compass and Tomahawk, Revolutionary War hero who fought the evil British – no, hang on a minute… This copy of Star-Spangled #88, January 1949, is an unashamed Poor: the page edges have been trimmed, though with the generous margins the story pages are completely untouched. In addition, the upper right cover corner has been lost and replaced with a lovingly handcrafted substitute. There is some browning and brittleness on the inside cover, and some marginal watermarking, BUT all pages are complete, intact, and legible – and how often do you see a Golden Age Batman-related comic this cheap? Yours for a mere £20! SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
