Description

Update: 2nd place in Best of CAF 2023

So I haven't posted anything in a while so I figured I'd start with one of my favorite pickups from the last few weeks.

I revisited a lot of the top Batman stories recently, and if I'm being completely honest, some of them didn't age well. I am now convinced the Long Halloween is the greatest Batman story ever written (which isn't a super controversial opinion). There is a reason Christopher Nolan and Matt Reeves have borrowed so heavily from it.

I never truly appreciated Tim Sale's art until he was no longer with us. He was the perfect artist for creating the tone of this story and produced just one incredible image after another.

I've picked up quite a few pages from this story now but I love these double page splashes. There are very few that feature Batman so I couldn't pass on this given the opportunity. Tim's take on Scarecrow is iconic and I always get a Dark Knight Returns vibe when I see Batman with a horse.
