wow this was awesome. i would be like a kid in a candy store in dc archive library

[@Usernametaken1987]

This is incredible. What I wouldn't give to visit this place...

[@dr.apostasy3347]

Why is action comics #1 so beat to shit and why is he holding it like it's a newspaper!!! Curse you !!!!

[@Dr.MantisTobogganMD]

*AHHHHH* I know right!???

[@alexauclair1]

It’s a reading copy for the archives not a collectible . It’s not treated like that

[@A100-y2c]

Those early issues were spiral-bound together, and obviously that copy of #1 has been removed from the bound volume. Notice the little holes along the spine. It's a wonder that it wasn't stolen at some point as its value soared.

[@ZehoOriginality]

(When he slams down the copy of Action Comics #1.) Owwwwwww!

[@marcusmuse4787]

like its still worth 10 cents Lol

[@grecomistascomicscollectib9013]

Wait... Detective Comics Batman's first appearance without cover... In DC LIBRARY?????

[@robertt9342]

Likely didn't see the need to keep file copies or copies in outstanding shape, at the time.

[@A100-y2c]

Possibly the cover was stolen.

[@GamingMoose21]

OMG I live in NYC and I wanna go here

[@latestred6510]

[@Earthtime3978]

First Batman is missing it’s cover in the DC library ??

[@robertt9342]

[@Earthtime3978]

Hello from 2022

[@jaylucien669]

Hi from 2023.

[@theblackjet]

Why are the edges of Action comics #1 and Detective #27 perferatted like notebook paper?

[@TheHachisuNoHana]

Probably because those were copies for the company only, something that would have been passed around between editors and other staff members before they decided it was good enough to print for the general public. At that point they weren't editing the story anymore, they were mostly testing out printing methods and working out some sizing issues with dialogue and other things. I've seen a lot of old comics like that.

[@F0CKSTR0T]

Probably because the issues in good condition are all owned by millionaires.

[@thedirtyroom_3564]

Benji Bay With detective comics Bill finger would give it to Bob Kane (Bill always did most of the work) who would give it to DC!

[@robertt9342]

Benji Bay . It's more likely related to value and whether they even needed a file copy back in the day of publishing. Those are likely preproduction or anything like that, comic are looked at differently now compared to then.

[@bryansteele832]

It would not surprise me if these are the copies DC used to make the reprints and DC archive books with.

[@addy4815]

Before at&t or after!!!

[@jaylucien669]

Before. Way before. But I'm sure you figured that out in the 2 years since you posted this.
