Not only that, but Stan Lee actually created Bob Kane. Scraped him together from the dust of the earth and blew life into his nostrils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close. But let's face it, not the greatest eye appeal on this copy. Edited November 16, 2017 by Gotham Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close. But let's face it, not the greatest eye appeal on this copy. So, this puts the 'Tec 38 back to the same steady upward trend line that it has been on for the past few years, as it has slowly inched its way up from $6K per point to what is now basically $10K+ per point. I guess the nice looking CGC 3.0 graded copy of 'Tec 38 that sold for just over $54K earlier this March was most likely just an outlier and the lucky consignor must be ecstatic and jumping for joy with the result that they got for the book.

Of all of the Pre-Robin Tecs, it could be argued that #33 has, outside of #27, the deepest roots, by far the most historical significance and the greatest logical reason to be coveted. Classic covers are incredible, undeniably desirable, but the Origin of Batman is one of the most importance stories ever told in comics. Years ago, both Tec #33 and Tec #38 were dismissed as having had their day. They're back, arguably with more room for growth than the rest.

They both have the benefit of classic covers as well as substantive content (though 38 is technically not a "pre-Robin" ). -J. Wayne-Tec 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still pick #31's cover out of the three, but they're all close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This "pre-Robin" designation should be reserved for books like Batman 1 which actually has the last solo Batman story (albeit intended for 'Tec 38) with no Robin in there.

Dark Knight Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I think the gap would be narrower between Bat 1 and Supes 1 with that cover since classic covers have been the norm of high sale prices for a book, sometimes moreso than the content itself (Tec 31 or 29 vs Tec 33). I personally would pay more for that kind of cover with the Joker than what we see now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
