American Update: Batman 1982-1988
*DC: While it’s true that we tend to look askance at most comics published past 1970 or so, one of the handful of honourable exceptions is DC’s Darknight Detective, Batman. We’re pleased to have, new into stock, almost thirty issues from #343 (January 1982) to #416 (February 1988), a period our inventory was sadly lacking. This includes a complete four-part run of Miller & Mazzuchelli’s legendary “Year One” storyline, as well as some fine work by Moench, Colan, Max Allan Collins, Walt Simonson (delightfully reinventing dusty old villain the Calendar Man!), Jim Aparo, and Klaus Janson, among others. Prominent villains include Poison Ivy, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze, and a protracted struggle between Batman’s most beloved enemies, Catwoman and Nocturna.
