Description

Giants. Annuals. King-Size Specials. It didn’t matter what you called them, but for 25 cents I was all in.

The DC oversize reprints appeared frequently when I was a kid. And I had no regular access to back issues until later on, so these definitely scratched the “classics” itch.

This Gil Kane Batman page comes from a short “bookend” story tying the theme of this issue's reprints together.

I don’t think DC used this "book-ending" approach all that often.

It’s always great to pick up a page from a story you specifically remember well. (It tweaks the Batman origin a bit, although I’m pretty sure this specific thread was never picked up again.)

And Silver Age Kane Batman pages are a rarity in themselves. (Although he did draw some Batgirl back-up stories, which often featured Batman as well.)

(The story itself has never been reprinted elsewhere, a challenge with many DC comics of the same period.)
