Finally out Wednesday… As I’ve written many times, I’ve long wanted to get my hands on a copy of 1942’s Batman #11, but that’s been based on the strength of Fred Ray and Jerry Robinson’s magnificent cover — the Joker’s first, in fact. Thing is, I’ve never actually seen the inside of the issue, and chances are the same holds true for you since it will almost certainly be slabbed if you encounter it. (The stories have been reprinted, sure, but not all the other features, ads and whatnot.) So, with the Batman #11 Facsimile Edition out from DC on Wednesday, Sept. 2, we’re offering you a rare INSIDE LOOK at one of the most sought-after Bat-comics. Dig this SNEAK PEEK — 13 pages, even! — showing all the covers (front, back, and inside), the four story splash pages, a fun feature, and a bunch of zippy, colorful ads. Swell! — The 68-page ish (including covers) runs $6.99, and also has foil ($9.99) and sketch logo ($7.99) variants.

A 13 COVERS 100th BIRTHDAY tribute to the late artist… The late, great “Gentleman” Gene Colan was born 100 years ago, on Sept. 1, 1926! We’ve covered plenty of his work over the years, including Tomb of Dracula, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Howard the Duck, Batman, romance comics, and much more. Even Archie! But for this 13 COVERS birthday tribute, we’re going underwater with our first-ever spotlight on his 1960s Sub-Mariner, primarily from Tales to Astonish. (Actually, we’re featuring all of his Subby covers, because as far as we can tell, he did 14 of them. So consider this 13+1.) Let’s dive in! — MORE — Dig NEAL ADAMS’ Never-Published Inks Over GENE COLAN’s CAPTAIN AMERICA. Click here. — The Amazing HALLOWEEN Comic That Wasn’t: SHAZAM! vs. DRACULA — by GENE COLAN. Click...
