Popular Post Frisco Larson Posted May 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2018 SO happy to get this book in today!!!! BIG thanks to Vinnie and Frank at Metropolis for expediting the order so I could have it to enjoy this weekend!!! Sixth Batman appearance overall, fourth time his face appears on a cover (although not the cover feature) .... as close to a Batman cover pre-Robin Detective I can get right now (they're getting expensive!!) and for the foreseeable future. I'm very happy Tristan Esteph, Electron, Point Five and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever seen another copy of 32 with that pq designation before. The 32 will stay in it's holder for now, but I might crack the 9 out at Russ' this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frisco Larson Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 2 hours ago, RareHighGrade said: One of my very favorite pre-Bat covers. Congrats!! Thank you very much RHG! I've always loved this book & this particular copy in fact, as it belonged to a longtime collector friend Jerome Wenker. For probably 25 years, I would visit him, bringing books to share, sometimes we'd buy books from each other and this exact copy of Tec 9 was always near the front of his Detective box. I've thumbed it up many times & it is very solid with nice pages. You can see at the top & bottom of the spine that it was slightly trimmed (probably 35 + years ago) and there is that colored tape on the spine. I can't show the label, but it feels all the 3.0 it was graded. It'll likely be out of that holder before this weekend is done. Btw, your copy is amazing!!!

Did anyone ask Flessel if the 34 is actually the Crimson Avenger while he was still with us & answering questions? I know the John Richard Flanagan information came from him, which was tremendously enlightening! Where do you stand on that RHG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot recall if anyone confirmed it with Flessel, but it's generally accepted that the cover of #34 depicts the Crimson Avenger, and I agree. Although his clothes on #34 are not identical to the outfit worn on #22, the mask and hat confirm it for me. If anyone has any unslabbed copies of Detectives from this timeframe, let us know if the interiors provide further confirmation one way or another.
