What it is, Groove-ophiles! Let's end this week on a high note: digging on the sensational Batman splashes penciled by wonderous Walt Simonson for
Batman and
Detective Comics! Mr. Simonson didn't do nearly enough
Batman stories to suit moi (a fact Ol' Groove has
rapped about in the past), but those he did were Classics with a capital "C"! The
Batman/Manhunter "meeting" in
Detective Comics #443...the 450th and 500th anniversary issues of
Detective Comics...the first two Steve Englehart era B
atman stories in
Detective #s 469 and 470 (inked by Al Milgrom)...the 300th issue of
Batman...and just a couple extra-cool tales written by Len Wein and inked by Dick Giordano (
Batman issues 312 and 321 featuring
Calendar Man and the
Joker). Masterpieces all, as you'll be able to tell by the glory of the following splash pages...
