<B>Detective Comics #62 (DC, 1942) CGC FN- 5.5 Cream to off-white pages.</B></I> Is this the first "real" Joker cover? You could certainly make that argument, as the only previous comic book cover the Joker appeared on (<B>Detective</B></I> #40) has him barely recognizable, and with the wrong skin color, no less. This book's got the real thing -- we think you'll agree that this cover art by Jerry Robinson shows the quintessence of the Mephistopheles of Mirth himself. The story involves a nationwide competition for the funniest joke, to which the Joker isn't invited. He's mad at being left out, and no, he doesn't write a nasty letter, he starts murdering the contestants! Overstreet 2007 FN 6.0 value = $858. CGC census 10/07: 1 in 5.5, 7 higher.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Slabbed (certified) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
