I think this one was though.

[Jasonmorris1000000]

Yeah.  That one is Walt Simonson

[Jasonmorris1000000]

Speaking of Simonson, any Manhunter fans out there?

Nice Jim Aparo covers.  He will always be  remembered.

This one is my favorite, and I don't often play favorites, which goes without saying  but yet in the end so much story and stuff going for it. Bullock was a character, if I do say so myself

Manhunter... there was a premium paper reprint of those in the early 1980's? I liked it.  (May 1984 "Manhunter #1" reprinting Detective 437-443)

Hadn't seen this one in the thread yet. (Black spine is a toughie!)

This kind of stuff is my favorite Batman... when he crosses with the occult storylines.  That's why I always liked the series "Legends of the Dark Knight", too.  The horror/occult stories.... plus well, Adams, Rogers, a couple of Wrightson... you know: "The Greats"!

That cover has always fascinated me ever since I first saw it as a kid reproduced (with garish re-coloring) in that Bonanza Batman 30’s to the 70’s book. 
 

I don’t yet own a copy, that dark brown cover is tough to find in grade. almost as tough as a full-on black cover.

God bless Marshall Rogers

I feel old when i think about the great artists

I always wondered why these 100 page Tecs were so cheap .... especially the ones that had an all new Batman story AND a new Manhunter by Simonson. The Manhunters were so good they made the rest of the stuff on the rack look bad. GOD BLESS...

Yesterday on Heritage from the Alfred Pennyworth collection a 9.8 Bat 227 sold for 31,200. Minutes later a 9.8 Bat 232 also Pennyworth went for 8,200. 1/4 the price. To me thats a serious injustice. A cool cover (Extra Robin) is 4X more costly than the 1st app of Batmans greatest Bronze Age nemisis.

Surprising things sometimes happen at auction. The iconic cover of 227 obviously carries a heckuva lot of weight but 31K is a huge amount.
