Owner's Description
In 1978 I was 15 and by this time I was a real fan of comic books. A few years earlier a family friend sold me a box of comics he had saved from when he was he was a kid and from that moment I was hooked. In 1978 I received an allowance of $5.00 dollars a week and I saved it all for the glorious comic book spinning rack at Eddie’s mini mart. I would weekly scour the rack looking for the latest and the best and beg my Mom to take me there since it was in the next town over. I remember like yesterday finding Detective Comics 475 in the rack and thinking “What a cool Joker cover, this goes right in my pile” I said “pile” because $5.00 bought a whole lot of comics in the 70’s. So on the way home I would pick the best of my pile to read on the way back while my Mom drove. Right away I thought this comic was above the norm. The artwork was just great and the story…my my what a story. The Joker trying to get royalties from fish he gave his grinning smile to and then killing people in front of the Batman by using his Joker toxin…I mean…who does that?!? It reminded me of how twisted the Joker could be, like the time he knew it would be so hard to see the road because of weather conditions that he repainted the white lines on the road which lead the driver to crash off a cliff. Again…who in their right mind does that!?! Oh yeah…we’re talking about the Joker here.
