The Batman Newspaper Comic Strip (1990), Part 6: The Origin of Robin

[thehefner]

After the nonstop epic of the previous comic strips, we get a fresh start with the introduction of Dick Grayson in this continuity.

I have pretty much no commentary nor insights to offer here, as it's the one story in which I have the least interest, but I'm posting it here both for the sake of completeness and for the Dick fans. It's a standalone story with no references to the previous arcs, as will be the next part. After that, the grand finale with the Mad Hatter in Arkham.

I love how we get not one but two dryly snarky Alfred responses.

Since Bill wrote this: it might be pertinent to mention today's William Messner-Loebs' 62nd birthday.

Wishin' him a happy one!

Shit! I'm gonna have to get on the penultimate post to announce that!
