Detective Comics # 1 (Originally Published: Spring, 1937)

Detective Comics # 1 marked the launch of the longest running comic book series of all time. However, Batman does not appear in this one, instead Speed Saunders is the protagonist. Saunders finds a freighter out in the harbor named 'The Maria' and finds Captain Scum selling Chinses slaves to other ships (It's important to remember it was the 1930s when it was published)

The Story line is short for the main story, but the Comic Book itself is widely valued as probably the first great comic book of all time.
