The Batman #232 in context
Why collectors care
The first appearance of Ra's al Ghul in "Daughter of the Demon," cover-dated June 1971, by Denny O'Neil, Neal Adams, and editor Julius Schwartz. Ra's became Batman's most conceptually ambitious antagonist, and the Neal Adams cover is one of the most admired of the Bronze Age.
How to identify it
Batman #232, June 1971. Confirm the original 1971 printing: this issue has been reprinted and issued as a facsimile edition with a faithfully reproduced cover.
Common mistakes
Facsimile editions being sold as originals is the primary trap here. Check the indicia and the paper stock, and prefer certified copies at higher grades.
Grade considerations
The dark, atmospheric Adams cover shows spine ticks and corner wear immediately. High-grade copies are scarce and carry a steep premium.
