Detective Comics #27

A copy of Detective Comics #27, which marks the debut of Batman, sold at auction today for more than $1 million, barely breaking a record set just three days ago by Action Comics #1.

The Associated Press reports the Certified Guaranty Company-graded 8.0 issue, sold by Heritage Auction Galleries on behalf of an anonymous party, was purchased for $1,075,500. Earlier estimates had the May 1939 issue selling for $100,000. However, as CBGExtra notes, bids had already reached $400,000 by the time the auction opened.

Before this week, the record for the most expensive comic book was $317,000, set in 2009 by a copy of Action Comics #1.

So, on the Superman/Batman relationship.

I think they mutually respect each other, while disagreeing on methods.

Superman is the perfect man, the one we should all aspire to be. The savior of mankind, the God of Kindness.

Batman is the man we could be. The man who, without having any powers, says to crime “this far, and no further. No one will ever feel my pain.”

I think they’re buds. They are. Even buddies don’t see eye to eye on everything. But they can trust each other. Aside from his sidekicks and Alfred, Superman is the person Batman can trust. And what Superman can’t tell Lois, he can tell Batman.

So that’s my take on the relationship.

Look what I got from Mike and Celina of Chibi Comics!

WOO. I love Dini’s Bat-Comics. And I like Zatanna!

Happy Bat-Birthday me!

Annette doodled this.

It is awesome.

I wrote a recommendation of Superman Birthright for comic newbies on the blog, uhm, ComicNewbie. It’s in Dutch, so use Google Translate for hilarious results.
