    Default Original Detective Comics #27 COMPLETE Reprint?

    I've been thinking about this for a while, so figured I'd finally ask...

    Has Detective Comics #27 - the issue with the original "Bat-Man" story - ever been reprinted in it's entirety?

    Because, like... there were OTHER stories in that first issue, weren't there?

    It seems to me a complete reprint of that issue would be like printing money for DC.

    Maybe when 'Tec #1000 comes out, it could happen.

    Maybe not. But I, for one, would love to see the context that the first Batman story first appeared in.

    Well, there was this over-sized version back in 1974 (the one I got when it originally came out):


    Then in late 1999 DC released:

    And it also looks like DC had Millennium Edition versions of Detective Comics #1 and #38 (when Robin was introduced) as well as some other much later issues.





    Others included:
    * #225 (November 1955) with first Martian Manhunter story
    * #327 (May 1964) with start of the "New Look" Batman
    * #359 (January 1967) which introduced the Barbara Gordon version of Batgirl
    * #395 (January 1970) with first Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams Batman story
