Description
Batman Legends of the Dark Knight Halloween Special #1 was the first Batman book that Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale did together. 1993. Before The Long Halloween (1996-97) or Dark Victory (1999-00), there were the Batman LOTDK Halloween specials.

The story "Choices" was originally supposed to be a small arc in the LOTDK series. Jeph Loeb wrote the story with intent that it be released in conjunction with Halloween. However, because issue #50 was already scheduled to be released near Halloween, Loeb's arc wasn't able to take over the main title. Issue #50 had already been promised to Denny O’Neil and had a long list of artists and a pin-up gallery all planned out. As a result, "Choices" was published in a prestige format one-shot book.

The LOTDK Halloween Special was so well received that it led to two more Halloween Specials and eventually the 13-part The Long Halloween series.

The Halloween Specials were: #1 Choices (1993), #2 Madness (1994), and #3 Ghosts (1995).

I'm happy to have an example from this book. Luscious inks on this one.

Legendary shot of the cave, T-Rex included! The composition here is outstanding and even better in DPS format. Fantastic piece from Tim Sale!

Congrats on adding this fantastic DPS from Tim.  This is the book that first got me to take notice of Tim's work.

He must have spent days on this one.  Even with a lot of it in solid inks, the rest of the cave and the movie inspired Batmobile looks like Tim Sale wanted to put his stamp on a Batcave scene to show everyone he could do it.

I can hear the roar of the Batmobile, and the rowr of the T-Rex.

Fab batcave DPS! The batmobile is crazy! Cool perspective and the parts of the T-Rex and penny that he chose to show. Blacks on stalactites are excellent!

Congrats on a beautiful DPS.  I wish it was in my collection. However, it is not from Tim Sale's first Batman work. His first Batman work is Tim inking Norm Breyfogle on Batman #460 and Legends of the Dark Knight #32, a 3 issue collaboration with James Robinson, was released on 5/7/92. But this is from Jeph and Tim's first Batman work. They had previously did a Challengers of the Unknown mini series in 1991.

Hey John, you are correct... this is not the first time Tim worked on Batman, but as I stated, it is the first time Loeb and Sale worked on Batman together. This is the book that launched their theme of Batman Halloween stories .
