Description

It's Batman Day 2024, so I decided to celebrate by posting my grail Batman page.

Historic first app of Batman's most symmetric villain. Ra's is the mirror image of Batman without the cowl.

Besides the history, I love the imagery on this page. The huge close-up of Ra's in the background really sets the mood.
And, Batman in classic form.

This page was created by the Holy Trinity of ground breaking classic comic creators:
Writer: Denny O'Neil
Penciller: Neal Adams
Inker: Dick Giordano

As a youngster, I would take my hand written list of Neal Adams comics with me to swap meets and comic stores,to hunt for. Of course, Batman #232 was a big issue that I always looked for.

Big Mahalo to Dino Mauricio for letting me be the caretaker for this page. Super lucky to have such a great friend and supporter in this great hobby of ours.
