American Update: Batmania Max — Watching The Detectives: Puppets, Mirrors and Foreigners!
*DC: A short run of Detective Comics in the early #200’s graces our shelves this week, from #207 to 215 – sans #211, which was in our earlier Catwoman update a couple of weeks ago. Characterised by some new foes – the Puppet Master, the Mirror-Man, and the Brain That Ruled Gotham City – and some old friends – the Knight and the Squire, Britain’s Batman and Robin, who team up with other heroes to form “The Batmen of All Nations!”, a noble association trashed, er, updated by Grant Morrison in recent decades. Rotating back-ups involve Captain Compass, Roy Raymond, and Mysto, Magician Detective, but the enduring appeal of the Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder conquers all! A range of grades, from an unattractive (but cheap!) Poor right through to a sparkling FN/VF. Sample issues pictured below.
