Batman #47 (DC, 1948) CBCS VF+ 8.5 White pages.

You have to go back to the very early issues of the title to find a more highly valued issue. The origin of Batman, in which Batman tracks down Joe Chill, the man who killed his parents! A supremely important issue. It also marks the first appearance of the Bat-Signal on a cover. Iconic in every single way. Rare in any state, rarer still with an 8.5 rating. A serious collector's piece.

Creator Bob Kane gets credit for the cover, and he collaborated with Lew Schwartz for most of the interior art.

CGC has certified quite a few copies of issue #47, but to date has given a higher grade to only one other copy.

Publication date: 1948.

Fast becoming the go to guy in sourcing and selling the finest originals from Peter Beard. Very professional, highly recommend.
It was a real pleasure to work with Mr Oliver Bayliss, even from abroad, everything went so smoothly. You can consign your valuable books with confidence !
Oliver sold a book for me recently and the process couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Bayliss rare books are great to deal with and thanks to Oliver’s experience and salesmanship I was very happy with the final deal.
Highly professional service, extremely knowledgeable and easy to deal with, he's a collector first and foremost and you can see he cares.
Repeat customer. I've bought 4 books now from Oliver. Extremely knowledgeable in his field, he always has really interesting pieces in stock. He has hand delivered 2 of the books I have bought and sent the other 2 out by post. Would highly recommend.
