The Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1 in context
Why collectors care
The first appearance of Bane, cover-dated January 1993, created by Chuck Dixon, Doug Moench, and Graham Nolan. Bane went on to break Batman's back in Knightfall months later, and he remains one of the few modern Batman villains to enter the wider cultural vocabulary.
How to identify it
Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1, January 1993, a 64-page one-shot. A second printing exists and is far more common than the first; the first printing is the book that carries value.
Common mistakes
Second printings sold as firsts. Confirm the printing in the indicia -- this is the single most important check on this book.
Grade considerations
An early-90s one-shot with a heavier page count, so spine roll and cover stress are common. Value concentrates in CGC 9.8 first printings.
