SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Gothic horror came to full Victorian bloom; at least for the youngster I was when this issue was published; with the cover of Tec 403. The background scene and cover color belong in a Gothic fiction novel with the Batman and recently deceased counterbalancing this with a "seventies feel", thus pulling us back to the present. Tec issues 401, 402, and 403 (and for that matter, 390 to 400 but that is another set) are the issues that ensnared me in the Batman's lore and made me a fan for life. Of course, issues 390 to 400 were leading me to the trap, but 401 to 403 sealed my fate, thankfully!
This book is another keeper (just "Keeper" from here on because it is faster to write) and is also the first CGC graded 9.8 copy of this issue.
