Encapsulated and graded 5.5 with "Off-White Pages" by Comic Book Certification Services (CBCS), this 1941 copy of Batman issue #5 has the first appearance of Linda Page, a wealthy redheaded socialite, and Bruce Wayne's occasional girlfriend. This copy is one of the seven highest-graded unrestored copies of this issue ever encapsulated by CBCS. Note that cover artist Bob Kane left the bat emblem off Batman's chest of this 81-year-old comic book, making it even more of a collectible curiosity.
