editions are limited. Additionally, there is a Jim Lee Batman
cover edition available in bookstores or from Random House. This
cover is also featured on The Big, Big Overstreet Comic Book

ABOUT GRADING
Before a comic book’s true value can be
assessed, its condition or state of preservation must be
determined. In all cases, the better the condition of the comic,
the more desirable and valuable the book will be. Comic book
grading has evolved over the past several decades from a much
looser interpretation of standards in the beginning to the very
tight professional scrutiny in use by the market today. In
recent years, grading criteria have become even tighter.
