Absolute Batman #1 Noir CGC 9.8 Snyder Dragotta Signed Top Pop 1 of 7 1st Print For Sale

Some Absolute Batman books are tough to find.

This one is on another level.

Offered here is Absolute Batman Noir Edition #1, professionally graded CGC x JSA 9.8 White Pages and featuring authenticated autographs from Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta — the creative team behind one of the hottest modern Batman series.

And the CGC census is what really separates this copy.

Only 7 copies currently exist in CGC 9.8 with the Nick Dragotta / Scott Snyder signature combination, with ZERO graded higher.

That makes this a legitimate CGC Top Pop example of an already highly collectible first-print Noir Edition.

The signatures on this copy are absolutely killer.

Scott Snyder's bold black autograph sits directly over the upper portion of the cover, while Nick Dragotta signed directly across Batman's axe in metallic gold, creating an incredible contrast against the black-and-white Noir artwork.

The gold signature across the axe almost looks like it was designed as part of the cover.

This is the kind of signature placement that makes a slab stand out immediately in a collection or display.

The Noir Edition presents Nick Dragotta's artwork entirely in black and white, giving the oversized, brutal visual style of Absolute Batman a completely different look from the standard color edition.

With Absolute Batman #1 becoming one of the defining modern Batman releases, premium copies of the earliest editions — particularly high-grade signed examples — have become increasingly desirable among collectors.

Finding the Noir Edition in 9.8 is one thing.

Finding one authenticated by CGC x JSA and signed by BOTH Snyder and Dragotta with only seven 9.8 copies on the census is something else entirely.

This checks virtually every box:

Issue #1. First-print Noir Edition. CGC 9.8. White Pages. Snyder. Dragotta. Top Pop. Only 7. None Higher.

Add the exceptional signature placement and this becomes a centerpiece-level slab for an Absolute Batman, Batman, Scott Snyder, Nick Dragotta, CGC Signature or modern DC collection.
