About the character
Ra's al Ghul — the Demon's Head — is an immortal eco-terrorist who has lived for centuries thanks to his Lazarus Pits. Batman's most personal nemesis first appeared in Batman #232, one of the most collectible Bronze Age Batman issues.
What is a first appearance worth?
Batman #232 is an actively traded UK collectible. Most raw copies in presentable condition fetch two to low three figures; sharper, higher-grade copies and any CGC-slabbed examples do noticeably better. Worth getting a proper offer rather than guessing from online price guides.
Exact figures depend on grade and condition. See the full Batman #232 valuation guide →
