NO BUYER'S PREMIUMS — What you bid is what you pay! Batman: First Appearance and Origin at Auction BID NOW! AUCTION ENDS WEEK OF JUNE 11-15TH Summer 1938. Superman was a runaway success for DC in and lightning struck again a year later when the team of Bob Kane and Bill Finger introduced the Batman to the world. Alongside Action Comics #1, Detective Comics #27 is one of the pillars upon which comic book collecting was built. “Although it goes without saying, I’m saying it anyway,” stated Vincent Zurzolo, COO of ComicConnect. “Detective Comics #27 is one of the most desirable and valuable comics on planet Earth and is an incredibly important piece of pop culture history. Every investor needs a copy in their portfolio.” While issue #27 brought the Batman’s first appearance, it took until Detective Comics #33 for readers to learn the story of how Batman came to be. Starting with the cold-blooded murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne, Bruce’s solemn vow to make war on criminals, and the years he spent training and perfecting his mind and body, Batman’s origin has cemented itself in pop culture. “Show me someone who doesn’t know Batman’s origin and I’ll show you the rock they’ve been living under,” joked Vincent Zurzolo, ComicConnect’s COO. “And check out that crazy cover. The Batman is packing heat breaking the ‘no guns’ code he swore to uphold in the decades of stories that followed.” Investment collectors can make a run on the world’s highest graded copy, Detective Comics #33 CGC 9.2.

So last night I won my first Jim Aparo page. Per Heritage.com “The page is most likely from an unused inventory story, as it was created on 1990 DC Bristol board, with no issue number written in the top margin, nor any other publication stamps. Ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 9" x 14.75". Creasing in top left and bottom right corners, but doesn't affect the image area. In Excellent Condition.” This is a very special page for me as it is drawn by my all time favorite Batman artist Jim Aparo. My best guess based on the inking is that the Inker for this page would be Stan Woch. Estimated year of creation is 1997 based on the time period that Jim and Stan collaborated on Batman: Shadow of the Bat. This is definitely representative of Aparo ‘s later work but it’s still absolutely fantastic. When I was five my Dad bought me my first comic, Batman #442. Prior to this my exposure to Batman was the 1989 Tim Burton film and the Super Power Action figure. I remember picking up Batman #442 off the shelf of Phantom of the Attic in Parkway Center Mall. The cover by George Perez featured Robin (Tim Drake) swinging towards us with the Batsignal shining bright perfectly framing the Boy Wonder. It’s an iconic cover and I can easily see why my five year old self picked it up of the shelf even though the issue was not a new release. The comic was drawn by the incomparable Mr. Jim Aparo. Since that day Jim Aparo’s unmistakable style is, was, and will always be synonymous with my favorite storytelling medium and my favorite fictional character. Aparo’s style was a no nonsense superhero style. His Batman was built more like a gymnast than bodybuilder, which lent to how Batman would move and fight. His pacing was perfect Aparo’s action and storytelling is still my favorite and epitomizes what comics are to me. I have collected comic art and sketches for almost twenty years with the past two being a very active and engaged member of the OA community and in all that time I have not had an opportunity to really afford an Aparo Batman page whether that be because of my own ignorance or financial limitations. I never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Aparo but the stories I have heard from other collectors are that he was polite and pretty modest, not quite grasping why the fans loved his art so much. To this day I would love to know more about him and hope to hear more during my collecting adventures. When this page presented itself on Heritage I knew I had to take a shot. Previously I had not won any auction on Heritage, to be honest it was never even close. So this time I looked at the page and made my bid, which I was hoping since the page was unpublished would bring me over the top. As I watched the clock run down and the hammer drop I finally won a piece from my grail Batman/Comic artist. The joy was palpable and I knew that this would be the first of many pieces I would eventually own from Jim Aparo. My Batman artist. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to meet him. I was wondering if anyone here had the chance to meet him at a Comic Con or Signing and if they did, would they mind sharing any stories or anecdotes about this incredible artist. What was he like? Thank you in advance.

I don’t know if this was asked, if it was can someone link me up..... which issue is the first appearance of BWL?? Metal #2? Teen Titan #12?? Casting #1??? trying to research and the general population is split between those three. Synder (writer of Metal) says it’s Metal #2. Metal#2 & TT12 came out the same time. TT12 has a lower print run. Casting came before Metal & TT, but it’s only an advertisement (for Metal) I saw CGC graded TT12 (on eBay) but it never mentioned BWL.

This is a sale I've been wanting to do for some time now, just haven't been able to get around to it. I've got a big inventory of well north of 10,000+ s/s slabs. 90% of which are probably 9.8 and range from copper to modern. There's a few older books in there, but that's the majority. Doing signature series for 12+ years, the stuff builds up. Tonight, I'm heading with a buddy to his office where there are multiple scanners, and we're going to scan between 200-300+ slabs. When the books start going up, it's going to be a mix of new books as well as books you may have seen listed in previous sales threads, and probably some older stuff that I just never got around to throwing out there. Here's how it works. When you hit a and claim a book, you are gifted a second slab by me. Via PM, you let me know what your tastes are. Do you like Star Wars, Suicide Squad, Daredevil, Batman, Spider-Man----are you a Marvel guy, a DC or Image guy, or maybe small press? What creators do you like? Capullo? Snyder? Geof Isherwood, John Tyler Christopher, Moench, Campbell----give me something to bounce off of. While you are going to end up with a 2nd book for every ONE (1) that you purchase, at the end of the day, I decide what I'm sending. You're not promised or guaranteed a 9.8 freebie, but you're not getting trash either. Odds are HEALTHY you'll get a 9.8, worst case a 9.6. And while I'm going to be doing my best to cater to your tastes via your wish list, that doesn't necessarily mean I can make it happen. It's a jumping off point for me, but at the end of the day, when your box arrives, what's inside will be a surprise. I'm not going to have time to run options by you of "would you like Book A" vs "or do you prefer Book B", and you're not going to be getting $200 gifted books either, just to set your expectations from the get go. The idea is that hopefully we'll have some fun, we'll move a few books, you'll enjoy your freebies and I'll unload some extra inventory. Because this is a two for one sale where you're getting a free book along with you purchase, it's unlikely that I'll be discounting. If you're on the probation list or HoS, stay clear of this thread. It's not for you. My return policy----there are NO returns. Unless a book is damaged in the mail, and then both books are sent back to me and you get a full refund. There is no buyers remorse. Payment is due via PayPal in a relatively timely fashion, I want to get these out of the office and in the mail stream toot sweet. Shipping is free anywhere U.S.A. but anyone in Canada or international, I have to bill you for shipping costs accordingly based on weight. Once my convention season starts up again, I'll be swimming in books, juggling shows. Finally, if you all have some suggestions as to what you'd like to see listed in the sale, LMK.

Second City Collection Event Auction BID NOW! AUCTION ENDS WEEK OF JUNE 11-15TH Action Comics #1 CGC 8.5 ComicConnect, the premier vintage comic auction house, is delighted to announce The Second City Collection, an impressive assortment of rare comics, important key appearances, and exciting memorabilia, assembled by a lifelong comics fan who turned an obsession into something special. “This collection is like a love letter to pop culture, and it really shows the enthusiastic personality of its owner,” said ComicConnect COO Vincent Zurzolo. “The Second City Collection is comprised of some of the most carefully and meticulously curated comics we’ve had the pleasure to work with.” Amassed by a true comic book and movie fan from the Chicago area over the course of decades, the Second City Collection displays the breadth and dedication of his passionate interests. A sharp-minded individual, inveterate thrill seeker, and a collector of impressive paraphernalia, this comics fan was detail-obsessed, a voracious reader, traveler, and philanthropist. “I helped put a lot of his collection together, and got to know him pretty well,” explained Zurzolo. “He was a remarkable guy, kind of shy, but very open to new experiences and ideas, and when he fell in love with something, boy did he go all the way.” Determined to build a world-class private library of comic book treasures, he eventually obtained a collector’s dream lineup of major keys and first appearances. “The Action Comics #1 CGC 8.5 with bright white pages is a real treasure, and in fact, until we sold the 9.0 from the Nicolas Cage Collection for over $2 million, the 8.5 unrestored CGC copy was the most-expensive comic sold to that point.” This record-breaking copy of the first appearance of Superman takes a place of pride in this auction alongside a restored 8.5 CGC Detective Comics #27, the first appearance of Batman; a 7.5 Amazing Fantasy #15, featuring the debut of Spider-Man; and an unrestored 7.5 Captain America Comics #1, featuring the premiere appearance of what may have been this comic fan’s favorite hero. “He loved Cap so much, he actually ended up buying the costume worn by Chris Evans in Captain America: The First Avenger, which was in an auction I actually helped him out with,” recalled Zurzolo. “I remember how excited he was winning that outfit, he was like a big kid, it made me so happy to be able to share that moment with him, and seeing Cap’s suit again brings back very warm memories.” The screen-worn costume is not only part of this auction, but also one of the central pieces in the opening at ComicConnect’s midtown Manhattan Metropolis Gallery, which will display a group of Second City Collection highlights. “He would have loved this,” stated Zurzolo, “and it makes me very happy to be able to share this wonderful collection of comics and memorabilia with other fans before they find their eventual home come hammer-time.” Other highlights in the auction include the highest-graded run of the Avengers, including a dazzling copy of Avengers #1 highest-graded CGC 9.6, and the highest-graded #2 CGC 9.8; an unrestored CGC 9.2 copy of the super-rare Detective Comics #33, featuring the first-ever origin story of the legendary Batman; and a complete run of the extremely scarce pre-Marvel horror anthology Mystery Tales. “I think this might have been his favorite comic,” said ComicConnect Consignment Director Rob Reynolds, “he especially loved issue #40 which was prominently featured on the TV show Lost. He knew how rare this title was and would snap up low and high-grade examples including many pedigree copies.” Recently, early Marvel horror and mystery anthology books have surged in demand and value, as savvy comics fans come to realize that the foundations for the Marvel comics Silver Age revolution are laid out in these issues. “All the artists and writers who made Marvel into a powerhouse in the 1960s cut their teeth and honed their style in these horror comics,” continued Reynolds. “They’re so rarely seen that anyone who really cares about the history of Marvel, or the history of comics in general gets extremely excited when these books come to market. You really can trace how Marvel became Marvel by reading these titles and watching them slowly morph from horror comic knockoffs to a very specific and sharp style all their own.” Click here to view the entire auction The auction end-dates are as follows: Session 1 (Action Comics #1 - Avengers) June 11, 2018 Session 2 (Avengers) June 12, 2018 Session 3 (Avengers - Fantastic Four) June 13, 2018 Session 4 (Fantastic Four - Sgt.
