Detective Comics #40 (DC, 1940) CGC FN- 5.5 Cre
Detective Comics #40 (DC, 1940) CGC FN- 5.5 Cream to off-white pages. The origin and first appearance of Clay Face (Basil Karlo) is in this issue, which also sports the Joker's first cover appearance. Don't be confused by the fact that he has fangs and pink skin for this cover debut -- it is the Joker! Overstreet notes that the Joker story intended for this issue was used in Batman #1 instead; the cover is similar to the splash page in the second Joker story in Batman #1. Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson provide interior art for this issue. There are currently only four unrestored copies of this issue that have been graded higher by CGC. Overstreet 2003 FN 6.0 value = $1,956. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
