I'm fortunate enough to own the original of the above facsimile of Batman #227, but I simply had to buy this new edition as well as it's a great story. The Neal Adams cover pays homage to that of Detective Comics #31, which bears the signature of Bob Kane. However, given Mr.Kane's reputation for being a bit of a bullsh*tter, you can't really rely on anything with his name on it as having been drawn by him.
Next, above, is a facsimile of DC Special #5, featuring Joe Kubert. I've got the original of the first issue, so this makes a nice addition to my extremely limited number (four, I think) of this particular title. A nice variety of stories inside, so if you're a Kubert fan, this one's for you.

Not a facsimile, but a brand-new one-shot publication, celebrating 50 years of Captain Britain. Had a quick browse-through and it looks like one worth having, especially if you'e a CB fan. Even if you're not, would still be a nice addition to your comics collection. I only received this one yesterday (Friday), having pre-ordered it a while back, yet I see it's already being sold on eBay for extortionate asking prices. Grab one while you can!

I might pick up the Batman issue but I have the original DC Specials and Cap Britain wasn't really my cuppa tea ( although I could be persuaded if Alan Davis did any interior art).
He sure did, McS - his name's on the top of the cover to let you know his art is inside.
Thought that might just have been the cover art. I very well may now pick up Cap Britain now
Worth a read, I'm sure. And those DC facsimiles keep on getting better and better. It's difficult to fault them, McS.
The Captain Britain cover should have been a pastiche of CB #1 from 50 years ago!
Tonight I found a Two Shillings coin, dated 1965, on the pavement near my house! Amazing to think this coin has existed for my entire lifetime before finally coming into my possession.
There's a reproduction of the first cover inside the mag, CJ.
I've got quite a number of coin sets, featuring coins from the '30s right up to the '90s. I dig 'em out every so often just to look at them in their plastic cases.
I'm about to publish a new post in a few minutes - thought you might like to know.
I picked up the Kubert DC special a couple of weeks back, and the Batman #228 facsimile today. Lovely reprints. Also picked up the Detective #298 featuring Clayface, but frankly it's poor Sheldon Moldoff artwork from the very early 1960s. DC would have been better to have reprinted the much later Clayface story drawn by Marshall Rogers.
I'm still awaiting the Clayface reprint, B, it'll no doubt be arriving soon, along with some other comics from the same seller.
