Exactly what the marked needed for this book. The piece missing top right corner and staple wear has some concerns though? I know each book is different but my prediction is less than 20k.

The purpose of this thread will be to post pics of your personal Detective Comics from the Golden-Age. If we run out of material Batman will be acceptable. I don't want to be the first guy to post a pic so somebody else show us your stuff, doesn't matter if you've alredy posted it in another thread go for it. -CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are both early Joker covers, but the covers themselves aren't necessarily that great on their own. Especially in light of the fact there are just so many other Joker covers in both of the Batman related series, with some possibly better than these 2 covers. And, oddly enough, the lack of the same type of runup for Batman #11. Is there any more of a classic cover? Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most definitely as I still remember when Batman 11 was clearly the primo classic Joker cover to go after back in the day. Since Joker is apparently so big with his Oscar nominated movie and all that, has anybody here noticed any movement in terms of 'Tec 40 since that book has now finally been designated as the first Joker cover after some controversy about it in the past?

Well, welcome back to the boards again after an absence of quite a few years now. Yep, seems pretty much dead here as compared to the good old days when the boards were jumping with tons of action and posts. Maybe all of the old boardies have gone to the same place where you've been for the past few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the Joker. It's a figure that looks nothing like the Joker, that happens to be revealed to be the Joker in the story inside...but the visual depiction on the cover is not the Joker, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not bad arguments. And I don't think less of anyone who agrees with them. (I said inside; I meant inside Batman #1. I don't own these spendy books for handy reference. ) But it's just not the Joker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe it's like the movies where there's an earlier preliminary trial version without any of the facial makeup before he refines it into a much more polished and supposedly scarcier version of the Joker.
