Batman: Strange Apparitions by Steve Englehart, Len Wein, Terry Austin, Walt Simonson, Marshall Rogers

3.0

(3.5) This is considered the shining jewel of the crap that was 70s DC comics. I'm no comic expert so I'll take their word. But what I will say is that for a generation like mine that was weaned on the dark aspect of the Dark Knight, this will come off as sort of corny. The story lines are all very interesting, particularly those involving Silver St. Cloud, whom I'm convinced is Batman's most believable love interest. And The Killing Fish is easily apparent as the inspiration for the chemicals plot in the Burton Batman movie. There's other stuff to like, including good Batman detective work (sorely lacking from modern Batman work) and a quality Joker write-up but I wasn't overly impressed.
