Detective Comics #425
July 1972 · DC Comics · 36 pages
Condition: F/VF (7.0)
Iconic Bernie Wrightson cover and interior presence on this moody Bronze Age Batman issue. The lead story, “The Stage Is Set… for Murder!”, is written by Denny O'Neil with subtle Shakespearean dialogue woven into a theatrical Gotham murder mystery. Classic early-’70s Batman tone—grounded, eerie, and dramatic.
Also notable for the first appearance of Jason Bard in “Open-and-Shut Case!”, launching the Master Crime-File of Jason Bard backup series.
A strong mid-grade copy with sharp visuals and solid presentation—an excellent example of early ’70s DC atmosphere and a standout Wrightson Batman cover.
