As I ease my way into the world of comics, I think this is my favorite that I've read so far. It was cool to get a 3-decade glance at the highlights of the evolution of a character; it felt like both a history lesson and a fun read at the same time. These are the comics that lead to the blockbuster superhero industry we know today, the comics of my father's childhood. I think that in order to better appreciate the superhero stories of today, it is very helpful to read comics from the past. Plus, being a visual medium, you get to see all the fashion of the era when it was written. Seeing Barbara Gordon in those 1970's mini-dresses and tall boots, surrounded by others dressed as hippies or in groovy kaleidoscopic colors definitely made me giggle.
