Age of a Billion Batmans: "'It was important to make each cover look completely different,' [Shelly] Moldoff explained. As a result, when Martian monsters or new Bat-characters weren't on view, the editorial policy was to present grotesque distortions of the hero himself.... Readers were treated to 'The Giant Batman' and 'The Phantom Batman,' then 'The Armored Batman' and 'The Zebra Batman,' then 'The Merman Batman' and 'The Negative Batman.'" — Les Daniels, Batman: The Complete History. Chronicle: 1999, p. 95. Note: At the buyer's discretion, this lot of raw comics can be submitted by PBA to CGC for grading and encapsulation with a "DC Universe Collection" provenance designation on the labels. To request this service, contact PBA's comic book department for terms and conditions. The DC UNIVERSE COLLECTION comprises over 40,000 comic books, including a copy of every single DC comic published for retail sale from 1934 to 2014. The collection was amassed by British music producer Ian Levine over the course of several decades, and it's been hailed as the single greatest collecting accomplishment in comic book history. This collection served as the basis for former DC Comics president Paul Levitz's monumental book 75 Years of DC Comics: The Art of Modern Mythmaking, published by Taschen in 2017. PBA is proud to present this epic collection in a series of themed sales over the next two years. To join the DC Universe Collection notifications list, contact pba@pbagalleries.com.
