Hi All! I would love to get your feedback. Here is my quandary. If you were able to buy only 1 high grade Batman or Detective Comics or Brave and Bold from the Bronze Age. Which one would it be? I need to take into account that it needs to be a Neal Adams as the Art is amazing and definitely my favourite Batman and I imagine will hold its value (correct me if I am wrong please  )much better (although expensive!) I am struggling between approx 6 issues for different reasons! His artwork also seemed to get better the later the edition. As well as amny good episodes you think stand out? The 255 Batman (werewolf) for example the cover is pretty bad looking in my eyes. Thanks guys! |

It's one of the greatest single issue comics of all time. |

However if there is a cover that is amazing to you and you think it will still keep its value like the ones that have the interior as well I am game! |

I just checked the interior on an online site and it is truly kick butt art..he seemed to get better later but not too later if you know what I mean.Although iconic looking the cover does not do it for me as Batman is not the main center piece. So not sure as would possibly want to display it |

I actually have a sweet high grade copy of this issue. I love the background style with the clash in styles a bit like the 227 good call! And the artwork is amazing. You'll kill me for saying this but the character of Ras al Ghul does not do it for me I don't know why! Dont throw stuff at me everyone but I also struggled with the Joker, I liked the Riddler, 2 Face etc... |

Hmm, maybe I'll check... |

Batman #241? Classic Batman cover, a little different because of the Wright'son inks.
Please be aware my picks have nothing to do with the book"s value.

I actually have a sweet high grade copy of this issue. Me too. Got it at a Hal Kinney show many years ago in East Harford. Also got a 237 and 251 from the same seller. I stupidly sold the 251. Nik bought it, slabbed it and it came back 9.6 Have you seen what 9.6s of 251 are going for these days?  Still have the 232 and 237 though |
