Description: Duncan McAlpine Comics Detective Comics #278, CGC VFN 8.0, Apr 1960 Newly CGC graded with a stunning cover of vivid colours and high gloss. Bright, clean back cover. The 4th Highest Graded copy according to CGC at the time of uploading and the best copy on eBay. I bought the raw comic in 1979 at a London comic mart and just stored it away so brand new to market for the first time in over 40 years. One of those classic ‘Batman fights fantastic creatures’ covers that characterised this pre-Space Race era that was obsessed with aliens from outer space, effects of radiation and B-Movie science fiction. If you like you early Silver Age Detectives, this is a fantastic example. (We use a high-quality scanner to reproduce the best colour-match of our comics and avoid distortion. Your monitor settings may affect the brightness of our photos and the flash glare on some CGC scans is unavoidable and often depends on the generation/date of the case) All comics are bagged and boarded (a handful are not but this will be stated in the listing). See our reviews for the quality of our secure packaging and quick despatch times (we state 3 days as I have another life but it is often quicker!). We ask for a contribution only towards full UK Royal Mail postage. Please invoice for combined shipping on multiple purchases or for First Class.
