BHOC: BATMAN FAMILY #9

This issue of BATMAN FAMILY featured the culmination of writer Bob Rozakis’ short Joker’s Daughter mystery, a storyline that would hereafter continue into the pages of TEEN TITANS. I picked this one up at my usual 7-11 back in the day–I was a regular reader of the series at this point, the only Batman title … Continue reading BHOC: BATMAN FAMILY #9

As Green Lantern had become my second-favorite DC hero, this was welcome news. I was less … Continue reading BHOC: GREEN LANTERN #90

BHOC: FLASH #238

Boy, that’s an unattractive cover.

Still, none of that was an issue for me when my subscription copy showed … Continue reading BHOC: FLASH #238
