Owner's Description

"Hang 'Em High," very high. Detective Comics 421 is another one of those books from this run that took me several years to find and purchase "pre-graded" by CGC. Well, this issue finally arrived in the collection on December 22, 2013.

As the description I have for Detective Comics 421 in the description for Detective Comics 420 reads: "Tec 421 is another book missing from this run. However, until I can locate a perfect, I repeat perfect, copy of Tec 421 this set will remain without this issue. The 9.8 copy will, of course, be a Keeper.

Not having a copy of this issue in this run will not prevent me, however, from providing my "take" on Tec 421, another issue in this run with a variation of "Hang 'Em High," very high,
(redux!) cover art. The cover art theme can also be called: Live by the cape, die by the cape. However, I prefer to call the cover art gorgeous.

Adams was still on a roll with this cover as everything about it simply makes me want more of it. Quite simply, what's not to like about this cover, other than Mysto (what was that about)? Ok, Adams had no control over Mysto. What he did have control over, however, is explosive.

Great book, fantastic cover art, "gotta get me one."

Although this copy of Detective Comics 421 has its defects, it is still a welcome addition to this registry set.
