The Joker by Dick Giordano

Giordano on working on Batman at DC in the 70's/80's:

"I have very fond memories of working on the revitalized Batman. I really loved inking Irv Novick, Bob Brown and, of course, Neal's work ( and just about everyone else who penciled Batman ) and when I was in Pencil Mode, I was fortunate to get wonderful scripts to work with (including 'Tec #457) ! Batman was always my favorite comic book character when I was a youngster and my feelings about the non-powered, but still super, Batman never changed and so I was thrilled to be part of the team that was bringing new vitality to my all-time favorite character! I still feel that was the high point of my career and I was overjoyed at the reception of my peers and the fans. Nothing I've done before or since has been as rewarding."
