Detective Comics #31 CGC 4.0 All-time Classic Cover 3rd Batman Cover OW/WHITE
Considered by many as maybe the best Batman cover of all-time, this classic cover by Bob Kane features a larger than life image of Batman in the night rising behind a castle on a lonely hill. This unforgettable image is just one of the reasons this issue is so high on just about every Dark Night and golden age collector's list. Another reason is the fact that this is only Batman's 3rd cover appearance and this issue is the first the the Batp[lane appears. A strong majority of the known copies are restored so having a solid unrestored copy at auction with off-white to white pages is a rare treat. Demand for pre_robin tecs is at an allt-ime high and we expected a frenzy of bidding. Auction estimate is $25,000 +
The Book:
Mignola! Action! Black and White! Awesomeness.
An amazing piece.
I go back and forth on Deodato. This one is 100% forth.
I don't even feel guilty about liking this piece. I always look at Platt as sort of a guilty pleasure since he's so symbolic of an era that I feel was bad for comics. The thing is, there's a lot to like about his art and this piece is almost all about the good parts and none about the bad. +1
You don't see a ton of these on eBay.

All Sparkle City this week.
Classic Cover indeed. One of the best covers of all time, without question.
What an intense run 27-40 is. Key books everywhere, classic covers everywhere… The best collectible run, in my opinion.
Just to break up the Detectives…
3rd Batman. No big deal.
Who doesn't love this cover?
I just thought I should point out how dominant the Saginaw books are on eBay record list. 6 of the top 30. Those are some strong results, especially since eBay results had lagged for several years.

The Book:
What an artist. I love Raymond's line work.
Once all is said and done, the Saginaw books are going to dominate the all time record eBay sales tables.
That last panel makes it for me.
wow, serious stuff right there. That would make for quite a display.
holy cow. that's quite a page.
.
This is precisely why I love this hobby. Even with all the research and all the biggest brains I can find feeding me information books like this can reappear and upset the applecart. I'll clearly be rewriting the most valuable comic books in the world article and we'll definitely have a new champion on top of the all time record comic book sales table. I don't see this selling for a penny less than $2,000,000.
What's interesting is I've known about this book for several years, being the copy stolen from Nic Cage and notoriously absent from his massive Heritage auction. I just never knew it was this nice. I also didn't know it was the book sold at the 1992 Sotheby's auction for $82,500. Here's my scan of that catalog image:
