BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of Twelve DC Comics Batman Issues Including Key First Appearances and Knightfall Arc
A collection of twelve original DC Comics Batman issues published between 1974 and 1993. This assembly features several significant key issues and complete story segments. Included is the complete four-part Batman: Year 3 story arc (issues 436, 437, 438, and 439). Key issues featured are #436 (first appearance of Tim Drake in flashback), #442 (first appearance of Tim Drake in a Robin costume), #457 (first appearance of Tim Drake as the new Robin), #497 (Knightfall issue depicting Bane breaking Batman’s back), and #500 (Jean-Paul Valley assuming the mantle of Batman). Other issues in the group are #259 (100-page Giant), #409 (The New Adventures), #435 (The Many Deaths of the Batman part 3), and #441 (A Lonely Place of Dying part 3). The publisher is identified as DC Comics by various logo iterations on the covers, including the bullet and circular logos. Each comic is housed in an individual protective bag with a backing board. Issue numbers and cover prices vary across the collection, including prices of 60 cents, 75 cents, 1.00 dollar, 1.25 dollars, and 3.95 dollars.
Condition report:
The collection generally appears to be in mid-to-high grade condition, estimated in the Very Fine (VF) to Near Mint (NM) range. The covers retain strong original gloss and vibrant colors. Minor spine ticks and slight corner softening are present on some issues, particularly the older #259 and #409. No significant cover detachment, major creases, or water damage are noted from visual inspection through the bags. One issue (#441) shows a small corner fold on the backing board, but the comic itself appears unaffected.
