DC Comics Batman Comic Lot 370,372,375,382-385, 398,399,403,421 Annual #10

About this deal

This is a mid-1980s Batman lot from DC Comics Vol. 1, covering issues that span a significant and turbulent period in the character's history. The 1980s was arguably the most consequential decade for Batman since his debut. In 1983, Batman #357 introduced Jason Todd, and one year later in Batman #368, Dick Grayson retired as Robin and Jason Todd adopted the name. Issues in this lot fall squarely within that era, making them an interesting snapshot of Batman's ongoing adventures during this transitional period. This lot of 13 issues, listed in Very Good condition, will appeal to collectors of Bronze and early Modern Age DC Comics. It is worth distinguishing between pre- and post-Crisis on Infinite Earths story arcs when exploring Batman comics of this era, and this lot spans both sides of that landmark 1985 event. The 1985 event Crisis on Infinite Earths reset the continuity of the DC Universe, as well as Batman's. Many issues from this run are not widely reprinted in collected editions, making original copies particularly sought after by Batman fans.
