The value of Detective Comics #46 depends on the year of publication and condition. From the results on your screen:

1. Detective Comics #46 (1940) is highly valuable, with a used sold price of $831.34 [1]. This is the original issue featuring the first appearance of Batman and is a key collectible. 2. Issues like Detective Comics #46 (2016) are far less valuable, with a used price of $4.71 [2]. These are modern reprints and not the same as the 1940 original.

If you own a copy, the condition (e.g., graded, near-mint, or damaged) and specific variant (e.g., 1940 original) will significantly affect its value. The 1940 issue is the one with the highest value, while the newer editions are worth much less.
