Wow! When did Detective #405 explode?

I suppose if one of you doesn't grab the 217 in a couple days, I might. I've got 2 but neither are slabbed. I too, agree that O'Neil is often overlooked in regards to his profound contribution to the BA and it's roots. He was a worthy voice for the times ...... GOD BLESS...

It's gone now...

 

 

 

 

... hopefully it's from the recent tight period and is actually a 9.0 in an 8.5 slab GOD BLESS....

I'm seeing $30 - $70 for mid-grade copies on eBay. What the hell?

 

Great Adams cover? Yes! But it's got boring interior art by Bob Brown, and a fairly bland story overall.

 

And that "introduction" of the League of Assassins? It's more like "assassin", singular. Despite the cadre of baddies teased on the cover, Batman only tangles with a one of them in the story.

 

I haven't looked it up, but I'm guessing that the demand, and hence the prices, has something to do with a movie or TV show, right?

I love this book because of the RA's tie in.

And the cover...

 

Here's mine.

 

Thought it presented very well for the grade.

I understand why someone might question might question the prices the book has been getting. But it's hard to look at that cover and not want to own a sweet copy of the book. Adams did a lot of great Bats covers but this one is really high on the list.

...people always slam the non-Adams c/a books...... but some are actually quite serviceable.....especially any with Novick/Giordano on the menu. I was once an Adams snob..... but Don Newton and Gene Colan broke me of that.... GOD BLESS...
