Newsstand Newsstand Newsstand ALERT! Modern Newsstand pull up a batarang and get to swinging! Catwoman, Killer Croc, and Poison Ivy Appearance. A now classic Jim Lee cover. It was everywhere at the time, only a few have posted "Newsstands" for sale. Still the quantities, were consumed in mass, yet the demand hasn't brought too many out of collections. The jury is still out. A classic swinging cover, with the almost G.O.A.T. of football on the back cover, Tom Brady, but more importantly, this thing could be pressed it seems from the grader's notes. Loving the beginning to this run of "newsstands" in the issues of #600's, that was well read and collected! This sets up the Jim Lee run that would initiate new and secretive "villains" for the Batman to play with, although in this instance a very crippling way to go about it. There is a lot to the Batman, and somethings never change; although, there are always new obstacles to figure out and he can rise to the occasion.
Complete with back cover picture of Jim Lee's light up canvas. Showing off Jim Lee art! Bought at GameStop of all places, these are the heroes who could keep a "Batman in Check!" The BATMAN, however, always seems to go it alone and mostly in the shadows of his own volition! What is his superpower? "He's Rich!" That is what makes him, and yet the brain power to put that money to work is often overlooked!
Grader Notes:
finger bends center of back cover;
small bend center of front cover;
spine stress lines.

Newsstand Alert! 1st Hush appearance. I have a raw Newsstand in very good condition as a back cover picture to read, this was an introduction to a run for the character. Seemingly Newsstands abound though rarish, with this run almost having completely Newsstands Available for each issue. Great character though for the silent mover in the background like the Bats! Even though well collected amongst fans, these issues have been the most common "with value" among Newsstands that have come out of collections and are for sale. Well for late moderns anyway lol. Awfully similar, the Amazing Spider-man early number 600's have newsstands as well. Maybe these were all just a popular time for comic books period the end, which includes newsstands and at local comic shops! Still, I'm glad to have this issue now made official in the collection, it is tough to beat in grade. I believe I was pointed to this particular CGC Newsstand for sale from the boards, by I believe the boardie Corona Smith.
Complete with a back cover picture of a very good condition under copy, I think that I found from Duncanville Bookstore once upon a time. While readers may abound, which is a good thing, I still haven't happened across too many other newsstand editions!

Newsstand Alert! Superman with the grips on Batman. Nice show of strength, but ah in the end who is the morally comfortable hero, is it the end or something more involved!?! Still a collected cover, whose 2nd print made it into TV shows, with this cover as a sketch. This semi classic is by Jim Lee and was a stark portrayal of just what ominous battles the Superman considers a serious conflict, and just how serious or far he is willing to take it. Superman always seems to use caution and patience, even with a mild personality as Clark Kent. We just never have a gauge on how much he holds back. This Kryptonian keeps the guise up well, and we may never see the full potential for this character, and it may be why he's lasted so long! Many times, it is what it is, sometimes a common issue needs a bit of niche or twist of the arm, but this set is a great read and, so far, has come away with some reverence!
Complete with a back cover picture of the classic Jim Lee attribution of Superman, who has a connecting cover of Batman similarly perched for those classic lines! The good guys who watch over their respective cities and beyond.

Batman Hush story line! Jim Lee sketch 2nd print! This cover was and is HOT. It even got a shout out in the TV show The Big Bang Theory, when Stewart the LCS owner held one aside for Will Wheaton to buy. Got to love the real-world application of comics in film. Bizarre nerds show or not. This issue does at least come with some acclaim before it! Got for $50 at Fan Expo Dallas 2021! Those were the days that may soon be back with certain drop in prices, good on the venders to keep turning it all out. With Jim Lee appearing in pencils, it is inked and with color on the 1st print, yet here we can see the detail that goes into it! They did this with a lot of Michael Turner covers too, and while a cool concept, it was very popular around 2016 when I got back into collecting. Comparing artists between the sketch covers could be a cool thing to look into!
Complete with the back cover picture of issue #610 that built the pressure, and while a Newsstand example, I think it is more meant to be read! Bats is getting a feel for the situation! I got it from a $2 bin at a different DVD store.
