I'm a huge Kevin O'Neill fan, an English artist who currently draws League if Extraordinary Gentlemen, but he syarted in 2000AD doing superb black and white stuff on Nemesis the Warlock and the brilliant Marshal Law. I just teally like his style though it has developed over the years to be more simple. He did some important Hreen Lantern stuff in the mid-80s.

The Gil Kane cover to Green Lantern #123 was iconic to me. It was published in September 1979, when I was eight. Am I older than you, Wanderer?
There was also a DC house ad from this time and I was just getting seriously interested in comics. I was a DC fan first and foremost though that would change, but at the start I adored the more kid-friendly DC style. Batman was and remains my favorite, even if I largely avoid the movies (same goes for my Marvel favorite,mthe X-Men).
Here's that great Gil Kane cover for Green Lantern #123. This was the first part of a three-part Sinestro story, a Phantom Zone story with a Superman cameo, AND a scene where GL kicks Green Arrow to the curb and goes solo.
Michael Scorefan: Yeah, saw the Brennert hardcover and am aware of the Colan and Newton volumes, as well. I'll have to treat myself to the Brennert volume. There really should be an Englehart-Rogers reprint edition of their work together.
I just about have all the Moench issues--the last three issues I require are due here any day--but I have precious few of the Conway stuff, which has a lot of important issues: first Jason Todd, first Killer Croc, and some other stories and characters I like.
While I appreciate the idea of the Batman '66 comic--there was even an issue with Bane in it--I really dislike the tv show but I would read the comic. More for the crossover and 1960s-ness of it than any love of the old series. Odd? You bet.

Amazon presently selling the Alan Brennert Tales of the Batman hardcover for $12.68.
Wow! That is an amazing deal at less than 50% off the cover price. Any Batman fan should seriously consider purchasing this book.

Nemesis is AMAZING, amazing stuff! When I first read it back in the '80s, the story + O'Neill's art = Mind. Blown.
Yes the stories were amazing and the set so detailed and perfect. Especially for a 12 year old who'd never even thought stuff like that was possible.

My 1983-86 Batman and Detective Comics run is complete. My life now means something.
