Editrice Cenisio · Batman #1 · 1976 · L.300 (Italian Lire)
Grade: VG/F 5.0
Italian reprint edition published by Editrice Cenisio. Not an original DC publication. Cover carries the banners NUOVO! (New!) and DUE ADESIVI IN REGALO! (Two stickers as a gift!) — standard promotional language for the Italian newsstand market of the era.
This is an Italian-language reprint of DC Batman material, with all interior dialogue translated. The speech bubbles preserved here include “Sì, Batman... sono un assassino! Ed ecco la mia arma!” and “Ucci-dilo, Brutus!” — the latter a direct Italian rendering of a command to kill, placing this in action-oriented Batman content. The specific original DC issues reprinted here are not confirmed in available data.
Editrice Cenisio was one of several Italian publishers licensing DC content through the 1970s. Their Batman reprint series launched with this N.1 issue, targeting the Italian newsstand market at 300 Lire. Foreign DC reprints from this period — particularly first issues with promotional inserts like the sticker offer here — survive in decent condition less often than the domestic American printings. The sticker insert itself is almost never present.
Condition VG/F 5.0 — .
We use what the scientists are calling artificial intelligence to research and write our descriptions — it gives us more time to add books to our website and provide you with a wider array of inventory. We think Klaatu would approve. Details are verified but the robot does slip up. We're not infallible. Every book is graded by a human collector who has actually held it. If anything ever looks off, reach on out at robopictocomics@gmail.com.
