SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Psycho serial killer on the loose or simply someone having a bad day and trying to kill the Batman merely out of frustration? Of course, I did not think this when I saw this issue on the shelf of my favorite newwstand but I am certain I thought that this was another fantastic cover. To begin, and end with, the setting alone makes the cover: Batman, fog (I prefer to think of it as fog and not smog) and, of course, "The KILLER IN THE SMOG."
Naturally, I could not wait to read this issue after purchasing my usual number of copies (no wonder I started running out of "comic book storage space" in the 1980s). Having read a reader copy a few years ago it was clear to me that I enjoyed this issue as much as I did when first reading it. Granted, since it is a Detective Comics issues I am "somewhat" biased. But nevertheless, it is a great book in every way.
Keeper, until I locate a typical CGC graded 9.8 copy; one of two CGC graded 9.6 Murphy Anderson File Copies was added to this set in January 2020. Now for that 9.8 copy.
