Which version do you have?
For the absolute cheapest way to own Batman #74, grab the Standard version for $1. The Gimenez ($4) and Variant ($3) versions offer minor differences, likely related to printing or minor variations, not significant collectible upgrades. If you just want the comic, buy the $1 Standard. If you value a slightly different print or want a minimal step up, the Variant is a small investment over the basic Standard.
