Batman: The 10-cent Adventure #1

We can say that Batman: The 10-cent Adventure #1 achieved its purpose of luring fans in with a nostalgically cheap price tag. After all, Batman was the reason many people turned into a comic fan. They wanted to know what occurred next - and they wanted to know immediately.

The 10-cent Adventure launched the two-part crossover arcs Bruce Wayne: Fugitive and Bruce Wayne: Murderer? — both of which have been highly praised and ranked as the finest Batman comics ever produced. Batman: The 10-cent Adventure #1 eventually concluded with a cliffhanger, where Bruce Wayne was falsely charged with manslaughter. The only way to prove his innocence was to confess his hidden alibi - Batman, who had been far away from the crime when it occurred.

However, even an interesting cliffhanger cannot make a comic book sold out before its official release. It is safe to say that the extremely low price had a larger role.
