Brian48 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'm not sure I have a favorite BA cover or issue. To me, all the Bat related books took a sharp turn in direction right after DC stopped printing books in the 100 page format. It was around this time I actually stopped buying Batman regularly as a kid. Even today, that's generally my cutoff when it comes to collecting Bats. There's early BA and there's late BA. I just can't seem to get interested in the later half. Link to post Share on other sites
Old Fashion PB and J Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Loved the Rogers stuff! I'm a detective collector, I will try and dig up some scans! Link to post Share on other sites
oakman29 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 How can you not love Neal Adams bronze Bat books. Link to post Share on other sites
Point Five Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 One of the best. That's a killer copy, too. Link to post Share on other sites

NinjaSealed Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 How can you not love Neal Adams bronze Bat books. I'm pretty sure that's impossible for those with eyesight. Anyone win any of the books at CL that just ended? I didn't get any of the BA ones. It's great seeing them close one by one and remembering all the awesome covers I forget about.

scooter99 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Last one for tonight. Link to post Share on other sites
Brian48 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Alright, I thought about it. It's easy to lean towards Bats 227 and 232, but when I ask myself what books have stuck with me over the years (even when I wasn't collecting), I find myself actually gravitating towards some of the Kaluta books. Here is a prime example. This 8.5 was originally bought as a filler, but it turned out so nice (the scan is crappy), I decided to keep it. Actually looks nicer than some 9.4s I have. Tec' 424 deserves honorable mention as well. Another 8.5 that's so nice, I'm not going to bother upgrading from it. Like many of the Adams covers, I thought these were way ahead of their time, and certainly way ahead of the early BA writing style. Link to post Share on other sites
romanheart Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Great books guys. The stories around your picks are feat. Link to post Share on other sites
conditionfreak Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) I have so many awesome bronze Batman's and Detective's (there are sooo many of them). That I don't know where to start. It seems silly to start with Bats 227 and Tec 400. Because they are legendary. Maybe I'll find the time to scan many of the others.
