Nick Cardy ruled the Man-Bat roost with the cover to Tec issue 429 and what a better setting than Sin City.
The cover to this issue, not to mention the stories in it, kept the money coming-in (Vegas theme perhaps) as I purchased my fair share of copies at my favorite comic book newsstand.
If you have not, purchase a copy, read it, enjoy it because it simply kicks a**!
Image #2 is of the CGC graded 9.6 copy of Detective Comics 429 that I own.
Issue Credits (as per the CGC Universal Label):
Frank Robins story and art

Issue Notes (as per the CGC Universal Label):
Man-Bat appearance.

Detective Comics 436 is the first issue in this run whose cover I did not enjoy immediately; it had to "grow" on me. This may be due to the purple, or is it dark lavender, background of the cover. Over the years, however, I have come to appreciate, if not be thrilled, with the cover. This is likely due, in no small part, to the story as I enjoy it immensely.
Although it may be somewhat shortsighted to "ding" (ding, oh no!) a comic book based solely on the front cover background color it is in my nature as a comic book reader and collector as the cover is critically important to me (and I imagine for most comic book readers and collectors).
Despite my qualms about the cover, this issue is still a worthy member of this run.
I was finally able to obtain a CGC Graded 9.8 copy of Detective Comics 436 in September and October 2013. As of July 1, 2014 (October 15, 2013), the CGC Census listed two (2) 9,8 copies of this issue. This book is from the Monterey Collection.
The final paragraph of the description for my CGC graded 9.6 copy of this issue read: Keeper, until I locate a typical CGC graded 9.8 copy.
Image #2 is of one of the two CGC grded 9.6 copies that I own of Detective Comics 436; the copy that is not pictured has OW pages.

Detective Comics 437
I presently do not have a copy of Detective Comics 437 in this set. The CGC graded copy that I had in this set last year, although a 9.8 with white pages and having a description that read: The brilliant Jim Aparo created a cover for the ages with this beauty. This book should be part of every collection for the cover alone. I'll leave it at that. This book is the best CGC 9.8 graded copy of this issue as the cover has only a slight strip of white running along the left side!, never quite met my standards as it had a cover miswrap that bothered me. Thus, once I find a copy of Detective Comics 437 with perfect cover alignment I hope to add it to this set.
Issue Credits (as per the CGC Universal Label):
Archie Goodwin story
Jim Aparo and Walter Simonson art
Jim Aparo cover
Issue Notes (as per the CGC Universal Label):
1st appearance of the new Manhunter and Christine St. Clair.
