Featuring Marshall Rogers, Norm Breyfogle, Greg Capullo and MORE…

A few weeks back, we ran a really fun piece by Jim Beard that featured 13 homages to the classic 1966 Batman and Robin rooftop pin-up. You folks really seemed to dig it, so I was inspired to do another volume — only this time with Detective Comics #27, Batman’s first appearance.

Bob Kane

Why that issue? Well, it really requires no explanation but it just so happens that a swell copy of Detective Comics #27 is up for sale at Heritage Auctions now — and you can get all the groovy details here. (There are other hugely important comics in the auction, too.) Oh, and Detective #27 came out this month in 1939.

So, dig these 13 COVERS (or, really, 12 covers and one groovy sketch by the great Fred Hembeck.)

Right on.
