CGC-certified Batman Comics Stand Out in ComicLink Sale
Posted on 11/20/2023
Batman has been one of the most popular and successful comic book heroes for more than 80 years, and two Golden Age rarities certified by Certified Guaranty Company® (CGC®) are inspiring lively bidding in a ComicLink auction that concludes November 28-30, 2023.
One of the most iconic superheroes in popular culture, Batman was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger. The Dark Knight made his first appearance in Detective Comics #27, which was published by DC Comics in May 1939. The character quickly gained popularity among comic book readers, and Batman soon became a cornerstone of DC Comics' superhero lineup. The character is so popular, in fact, that his earliest comics always stand out in auctions — even in lower grades.
