Detective Comics #359 — VG- 3.5
January 1967 • DC Comics • Batgirl debut • Carmine Infantino / Gardner Fox
The iconic first appearance and origin of Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) — one of the most important Silver Age DC books ever printed. From the explosive Carmine Infantino cover to the full origin story inside, this is ground-zero for one of Batman’s most enduring characters.
Inside features the complete two-part story “The Million Dollar Debut of Batgirl!” by Gardner Fox with art by Carmine Infantino and inks by Sid Greene, introducing Barbara Gordon as she crosses paths with Killer Moth and Batman on the night that changes her life. Back-up includes a full Elongated Man feature by Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson, along with period-perfect ads and house features throughout. An essential core Batman key and cornerstone DC collectible.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes (3.5 / VG-)
Heavy general wear with multiple cover creases, surface scuffing, and softened corners. Notable color rub along edges and spine with visible stress lines. Spine is intact but worn. Staples present with wear; interior pages are off-white to tan and complete. Back cover shows soiling and handling wear. Solid low-grade example of a major DC key with excellent display appeal for its age.
