Saw some original art from this issue online and realisd I'd always meant to share the issue. It's a minor story in many ways, Doug Moench writing the first of a sort of two part story which isn't major or "important", but to share Don Newton pencils with Alfredo Alcala inks and Adrienne Roy colours, is always a pleasure.
( First up, that cover )

thanekosHe masked himself like another Strange, with dark hair streaked grey.
Five years later, there was a reciprocal reference.
It was in Moon Knight #17, written by Doug Moench and drawn by Bill Sienkiewicz.
It wasn't one that fit at all in the story.
( It was a jarring one. )

I posted this four years ago but I figured I'd share it again for Halloween. This is the first in a trilogy.

icon_ukFor no reason other than I found this issue in a longbox not long ago, I bring you one of my favourite "bits" of Bat business from.... oh bloody hell... over 30 years ago Now I feel old....
Batman 370
LOVE that cover with layouts by the legendary (and underappreciated IMHO) Ed Hannigan who did a LOT of very clever and striking cover layouts. Look at the larger image in the link to see if you can spot where he appended the title to include the co-star! :)

lego_jokerFrom The Batman Chronicles #3: "Riddle of the Jinxed Sphinx". A criminally underrated little Riddler tale, if I do say so myself. I find the art (a rather interesting collaboration between Bill Sienkiewicz and Brian Stelfreeze) to be rather hit-and-miss, but goddamn it all if Doug Moench didn't write one of the best Eddie portrayals ever.
The general plot: Riddler decides to do away with his riddles once and for all, and begins to hire himself out as a generic mastermind to various crime bosses in Gotham. Mind you, this doesn't mean that he totally abstains from riddles - just that he won't send them to law enforcement anymore. Like the Eddie we all know and love, he still performs his crimes with that overly complex supervillain flair.

Fu Manchu plays Pac-Man
Oct. 5th, 2013 10:55 pmstarwolf_oakleySo, what does a super-villain do while waiting for the brave hero to arrive at his secret lair?
Play video games, it seems. One where the ghosts chase you, then you chase the ghosts. Rather appropriate, in retrospect.

Fun times with nineties Batman comics!
Aug. 7th, 2013 10:08 pmlego_jokerIn my never-ending quest to prove that 90s Batman comics weren't the mess of gloom, doom, and violence that everyone says they were, I present several instances from the Bat-comics of that period that genuinely made me laugh. These cover all three periods of the nineties - early, mid, and late.

BATMAN #484: Bruce's exhaustion
Aug. 11th, 2012 05:42 pmstarwolf_oakleyBATMAN #484 may have been the earliest example of how Bruce was suffering exhaustion even before Bane came to Gotham.

icon_ukThis is a longer than usual post as it's a three part story, and I'm never sure about posting three parters; do I do one chapter at a time and probably forget to go back and do at least one chapter... or do I post it all in one go and risk boring you all. Good news, I've gone for risking boring you rigid! :)
This also counts as another entry in my painfully sporadic "The Original Origin of the original non-original Robin" posts, detailing the introduction and career of Jason Todd 1.0!
( This story is full of drama, exotic locations and Vicki Vale being more awesome than usual... )
