Owner's Description

Holy Grail for me. Widely known to be the 1st full app. & origin of Clayface; however, it's also the first ever Joker cover &--for that matter--first ever printed image of the Joker. The content for Detective Comics #40 was instead used for Batman #1; but they opted to simply leave the cover unchanged. Accordingly, you'll note the cover fits with the splash pages in Batman #1 (story 2). So, essentially, it's the first ever appearance of our favorite, The! Joker!!
