This comic brought back fond memories for me. My youngest daughter is almost 17 and way to cool to do anything with dad anymore, but when she was younger we’d watch the cartoon Teen Titans Go. Not gonna lie, it was pretty funny at times . Anyway…1st appearance of Raven, Starfire and Cyborg.

Well, that’s my oldest issue of Batman. My oldest comic is Detective 270 from August 1959. One day I’ll get some pre comic code books.

How much does those cost raw? Graded books that are that old get expensive quick!

 

[franklinpence]

Depends on the book, but across my whole collection, I’ve only spent over $100 on 2 individual books. All others I’ve bought are under $100. I got these two for a steal. Both for under $40 combined.

The oldest i have is Tales to Astonish 60 from 1964.

I’ve never even attempted to get anything older than that but the EC books were always tempting.

Oh man. I’ve had my eye on that issue for a while. Nice book to have in your collection.

@franklinpence We were talking about this awhile ago and they've came out with some variant covers for Absolute Batman with Scarecrow on the cover. Not too bad in my opinion....

 

[Rocky_Top_Vol13]

I do prefer the classic look however

 

[Rocky_Top_Vol13]

They also have these variants as well

I like that last one. These are the retailer variants. May have to order one of the Unknown Comics variants. That last one is Unknown Comics, and this one is from them.

 

[Rocky_Top_Vol13]

I like that last one as well. I've looked on Ebay and they're going from anywhere from $20-$70 dollars raw ! I still like it though but that would be a little over $100 total to get one and then have it graded so I could display it. May have let that one simmer for a while as that would be a lot to have in a brand new comic lol

 

[franklinpence]

Uh-oh @BenGrimm - Kelley Jones has a retailer variant out there too.

I only really picked it up for crossovers but I too recently started grabbing the Sienkiewicz issues recently. Only have the Demon Bear story so far. Hasn’t been a high priority.

Got Issue 1 in the mail today. Only need issue 29 to finish out 1-31. Have the first two annuals also.

Probably need to pick up Marvel Graphic Novel 4 one day.
