SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Man-Bat, will you never learn? I mean really! Okay, so you are mad (or is insane more apt?), but come on. (Thank goodness for Man-Bat, one of my favorite Batman characters!)
This is another one of those covers in this run that simply kicks it up, down, sideways and up another notch. Honestly, how friggin incredible is it: amazingly incredible; stupendously incredible; astonishingly incredible? Clearly, I really, really like this cover at least a tad. I appreciate this cover perhaps more so as I believe Adams was drawing covers left and right during this period and, despite what must have been a tremendous amount of work, he still produced work of the highest quality, such as this cover.
Despite my admiration of this issue's cover, and the book's content, it is one of those issues in this run that I do not recall purchasing at my favorite newsstand. I wish I could recall my purchase of every single issue.
As with Tec 415, this book is a Keeper despite wishing to find "my typical" 9.8 copy (as I describe ad nauseam above).
Having purchased one of only two (or four, including one copy that is a Signature Series) CGC graded 9.8 copies of this issue from fellow board member VintageComics, my "9.8 or higher grade goal" is closer (yeah, right!). Oh, and the CGC graded 9.6 copy of this issue formerly in this set is still a keeper-at least for now.
