American Update: Watching the Detectives
*DC: A small selection of classic items for our Detective Comics stock, commencing with 1956’s issue #235, revealing the origin of Batman’s costume. The striking cover of issue #262 (pictured FN £85) introduces Anubis, the ‘Jackal of the Underworld’ (unusually for the decade, a brand-new costumed villain), and #270, featuring “The Creature From Planet X” is more era-appropriate, as the Dynamic Duo square off against a giant alien. Finally, from the Swingin’ Sixties, #362 features an early Silver Age appearance by the Riddler (re-popularised by the Batman TV show) in “The Night Batman Destroyed Gotham City!” Full details in our catalogue.
