Haven't visited in a while? No worries, we all get busy from time to time!

Here at the store we've been busy this past year sorting through over 120 long boxes of back issues and adding ~60 boxes to our sales floor for you!

So if you've been looking for that one or final few issues to complete a set now is the time to come have a look! -- and if we don't have it on the floor, we've also been busy beefing up our Ebay inventory to over 5,000 items/lots with new items being added almost daily!

Can't wait to see and help you find what you're looking for!

According to Jim’s Steranko’s “The Steranko History of Comics (1970), Bill Finger once said that cartoonist Bob Kane “...had an idea for a character called 'Batman', and he'd like me to see the drawings. I went over to Kane's, and he had drawn a character who looked very much like Superman with kind of ... reddish tights, I believe, with boots ... no gloves, no gauntlets ... with a small domino mask, swinging on a rope. He had two stiff wings that were sticking out, looking like bat wings. And under it was a big sign ... BATMAN”

After writer Bill Finger was brought in to ghost write on the ‘Bat-Man’ project, not only did Finger do major design changes to Kane's original vision of the Bat-Man, such as changing the red and yellow color scheme to blue and grey, the domino mask to a cowl, the stiff bat wings to a flowing cape, but he also made Bat-Man a scientific detective, even adding gloves to the vigilante's ensemble. Those elements and Finger's brilliant stories mixed with Kane's superhero vigilante persona refined the character as the dark icon of the DC Universe to Superman's bright image, and the Bat-Man was launched in Detective Comics #27 86 years ago this month on March 30, 1939. 🦇📚
