DETECTIVE COMICS Nos. 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 397, 398, 399, 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 407 * Lot of 15 Comics Provenance: DC Universe Collection Publisher: DC [Indicia: National Periodical Publications, Inc.] Date Published: 1969-1971 Description: Detective Comics #s 392-399 and 401-407, lot of 15 issues. Generally Good (2.0) or better. Covers, stories and art by Neal Adams Frank Robbins Bob Brown, Joe Giella, Irv Novik, Denny O'Neil, Dick Giordano Carmine Infantino and Frank Giacoia. New Crew to the Rescue: "[Neal] Adams belonged to a new generation of young comics writers and artists who'd grown up with the medium and saw the opportunity to work in it as the realization of a childhood dream.... What Adams wanted, tucked away in his relatively out-of-the-way pocket of National's superhero universe, was a quiet revolution. 'It just didn't seem to me like the people at DC Comics knew what Batman should be'.... Like all hard-core fans at the time, he fervently believed that 'the TV show had run roughshod over the Batman character.... So he slyly set about changing that." — Glen Weldon, The Caped Crusade: Batman and the Rise of Nerd Culture. Simon & Schuster: 2016, p. 100. 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. Enjoying PBA's Batman sale? A very small number of softcover and limited edition hardcover auction catalogues are available for purchase. The catalogues are fully illustrated, thoroughly researched, and make excellent reference works for Batman fans.
