Catalogue note

The 1,100th issue of Detective Comics, one of the central long-running titles in American comic-book history, presented here in its original Frank Miller Cover C card-stock variant. The milestone anthology contains four Batman stories by Tom Taylor and Mikel Janín, Greg Rucka and Álvaro Martínez Bueno, Mariko Tamaki and Amancay Nahuelpan, and Dan Watters and Bill Sienkiewicz. Miller's cover gives this particular state an additional historical resonance within Batman publishing, connecting a 2025 anniversary issue to an artist whose 1980s Batman work materially reshaped the character's modern visual and narrative identity.

Why this object matters

The #1100 anthology brings several substantive creator collaborations together, with a Miller/Sinclair cover connecting later Batman publishing to TMR’s earlier holdings. The round-number celebration supports strong 8.0 status, not an automatic outstanding rating.

Evidence limits: Complete under the standing TMR accession rule. No missing issued component is reported; the comic remains enclosed in its Collect Forever Soft Slab, so the interior cannot be page-counted directly.
