Tales of the Batman: Gerry Conway Vol. 2 by Gerry Conway
4.0
Tales of the Batman: Gerry Conway Volume 2 collects Batman #337-346, #348, Detective Comics #505-513, World's Finest Comics #270.
This book is nearly 500 pages and still feels jam packed. Gerry Conway has enough subplots going to fuel an entire season of a Batman TV show. Man-Bat is missing, Poison Ivy is trying to take over the Wayne Foundation, and the mayor candidates are gunning for Batman and Commissioner Gordon. On top of all that, Vicki Vale is trying to discover Batman's identity and villains like Mirage, Two-Face, Dagger, Blockbuster, and others are up to their old tricks.
Rich Buckler, JLGL, Don Newton, Irv Novik, Trevor Von Eeden, and Gene Colan supply the pencils on this with a hoary host of inkers like Klaus Janson. Heavy hitters like Jim Aparo and Joe Kubert even do guest covers.
There isn't a lot more to say. These are some of the best pre-Crisis Batman stories of the 1980s.
