SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Detective Comics 436 is the first issue in this run whose cover I did not enjoy immediately; it had to "grow" on me. This may be due to the purple, or is it dark lavender, background of the cover. Over the years, however, I have come to appreciate, if not be thrilled, with the cover. This is likely due, in no small part, to the story as I enjoy it immensely.
Although it may be somewhat shortsighted to "ding" (ding, oh no!) a comic book based solely on the front cover background color it is in my nature as a comic book reader and collector as the cover is critically important to me (and I imagine for most comic book readers and collectors).
Despite my qualms about the cover, this issue is still a worthy member of this run.
Keeper, until I locate a typical CGC graded 9.8 copy.
Detective Comics 437
I presently do not have a copy of Detective Comics 437 in this set. The CGC graded copy that I had in this set last year, although a 9.8 with white pages and having a description that read: The brilliant Jim Aparo created a cover for the ages with this beauty. This book should be part of every collection for the cover alone. I'll leave it at that. This book is the best CGC 9.8 graded copy of this issue as the cover has only a slight strip of white running along the left side!, never quite met my standards as it had a cover miswrap that bothered me. Thus, once I find a copy of Detective Comics 437 with perfect cover alignment I hope to add it to this set.
