Good to see you all. Here are two more Batman comics.
Batman: The Long Halloween
This is an epic, classic-at-every-level Batman story with many twists and turns. There are many suspects as to who the Holiday killer could be, and the ultimate solution to the puzzle will actually shock you. Batman is very classically drawn here, with many great illustrations by Tim Sale. The organized crime world of Gotham is here in full force, with many references to The Godfather, and all of the crazies from Arkham Asylum are here, too. I can't think of a more old school, classic Batman story that's more satisfying. Perfect for a rainy day.
Batman: Black and White Volume One and Two
This comic series, a collection of black and white comics from different creators, might evoke the strongest personal memories for me. Very powerful, emotional, and intimate stuff here. There's sort of a noir undercurrent with these stories, yet they are all so very different. Each one, in its own way, is brilliant. In particular, I really like the Neil Gaiman story and the story about the murdered cat. Just a completely new spin on Batman.
To be continued. . .
