The Detective Comics #66 in context
Why collectors care
The first appearance of Two-Face, cover-dated August 1942, created by Bob Kane. Harvey Dent is among Batman's most psychologically resonant antagonists and a fixture of the character's major adaptations.
How to identify it
Detective Comics #66, August 1942. The cover famously splits Two-Face's image down the middle, which is the quickest visual confirmation.
Common mistakes
Golden Age restoration and trimming are the primary risks. Buy certified and read the label carefully.
Grade considerations
Wartime paper stock is prone to brittleness and tanning. Page quality and restoration status often matter more than the numeric grade.
