Commissaris James Gordon

Few characters embody the beating civic heart of Gotham quite like Commissaris James Gordon, who made his Dutch-language Silver Age debut in Superman en Batman #3 in 1967. Across a remarkable 58-year publishing span through Classics/Williams editions, he has been a steady presence in Batman Classics and Batman titles, keeping extraordinary company — Robin, Dick Grayson, Alfred Pennyworth, Superman, and the Joker all share his pages. With 82 catalog appearances and at least one key collector issue to his name, this is a character whose longevity speaks for itself: a dependable, enduring figure at the crossroads of Gotham's greatest stories, well worth tracking down for any serious fan of the Batman universe.
