Of course, there's a couple Batman comics on this list, including the famous Detective #27.

Check it out.

The first appearance of Batman delivered an edgy, dark character with a more ominous yin to Superman's yang. Batman helped usher in a more adult approach to comics, one closer to the pulp books and radio shows popular at the time. While the Caped Crusader would occasionally become campy, the shadowy character generally stayed true to Bob Kane's original interpretation.

On Thursday, August 4, 2016, a copy of Action Comics #1 with the first appearance of Superman quickly flew past the $750,000 estimate to sell for close to $1 million at Heritage Auctions. As part of their Comics & Comic Art Signature Auction, Heritage sold the 1938 comic, graded 5.5 by CGC, for $956,000. It set a new record for sale of Action Comics #1 at Heritage.
“As the bidding went higher and higher we were grateful bidders recognized this copy as the gem it truly is,” said Lon Allen, Managing Director of Comics & Comic Art at Heritage. “Few copies of this comic survive, let alone come to auction with such a bright cover. It displays beautifully.”
Action Comics #1 was originally sold on comic racks for just 10¢ in June 1938. There are only about 100 copies currently known to exist.
The copy that sold on Thursday was part of a collection that was purchased from a dealer in the 1990s for $26,000. Allen also stated that the copy likely drew intense bidding because it is very attractive for the grade.

1956 Oldsmobile 88 - THE FIRST BATMOBILE

I know I've blogged about this car before. But now here's a more in depth look at it with some history behind it and some great video, too.
Sid and Alicia Belzberg can now be considered amongst some of the most
important people in the world of star cars. If not for their decision to
take an old wreck into their care, today we would not have what is now
known to be the first Batmobile ever made.
