“Meet the new Batgirl!” Barbara Gordon takes centre stage between Batman and Robin on the cover of Detective Comics #359, introducing a new member of Gotham’s crime-fighting cast. The bold purple background and “The Million Dollar Debut of Batgirl!” cover billing make the issue’s significance immediately clear.

This is a lower-grade copy with substantial visible cover wear, including creasing and edge wear. Its appeal is the opportunity to own Barbara Gordon’s original Batgirl debut in a professionally graded copy, rather than a high-grade presentation. The cream to off-white page designation is part of this copy’s condition and should be considered alongside the assigned grade.

Front and back photographs show the actual graded comic and holder, with the front cover displayed first. Please examine both images closely for the visible wear and overall presentation.
