JLA 34 by Grant Morrison and Howard Porter.

What can I say about Grant Morrison's JLA that most comic fans don't already know? Not Much. I did edit an interview with Morrison where he was pretty modest about his JLA run. Seems he thinks the idea of putting the "Big Guns" of the DC Universe on the team was pretty obvious, but he still had to fight to get Superman, Batman, WonderWoman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, the Flash and Martian Manhunter on the team.

If you haven't read his JLA, it is pretty much gold from start to finish (Okay, maybe the Rock of Ages storyline didn't work so well).

If you haven't, this is a great issue to start with. only $1.00

Legends of the Dark Knight #19

Written by Dennis (Denny) O'Neil and Drawn by Trevor Von Eeden & Russell Bruan.

Okay. This is Batman Vs. A Shark.

Need more? Really? This is the infamous Venom story line where Batman ends up using and getting addicted to "Venom". Which was later re-introduced in the Batman mythos as the drug Bane used when he showed up in the epic Knightfall story.

This issue is a bit more beat up then most I am selling, seems like there is some wrinkling in the lower 1/4 of the comic due to some moisture damage (still completely readable, just makes the pages a little stiff) but it is only $1.00 and if you hadn't noticed it features Batman VS. a freaking SHARK!

Detective Comics #652 & #653

Detective Comics #652 & #653 were both written by Chuck Dixon and Drawn by Graham Nolan.

I wasn't a big Batman fan when Chuck Dixon started writing the series. Something about the character just didn't appeal to me, so I stayed away until Robin got his own monthly series. I have no idea why I was drawn to that comic, but I enjoyed Chuck Dixon's writing so much I have tracked down about half his run on Detective (which he wrote for almost 100 issues #644-738)

Fast paced and visually exciting, Mr. Dixon's Batman is one of my favourites. I have no idea why these comics aren't worth more money (I guess being published in the 90's means there is hundreds of thousands of copies out there) but I'm kinda glad they are as cheap as they are. Anytime I see a Chuck Dixon Batman comic I buy it. I know it is going to be a solid story. Infact, I react so quickly, I've often bought comics I already own. Like these two.

This story takes place towards the start of his run on the series, and has The Huntress guest star for 2 issues. It's always fun to watch these characters interact. She is trying to do good, and he is judging her the entire time....and she is sure she isn't going to measure up.

If you haven't read Chuck Dixon, then this is a great intro to his style. If you have, then you know any Dixon Batman is a good comic. $1.00 each, might as well get both.

Azreal Agent of the Bat #86 was written by Denny O'Neil and drawn by Serio Cariello.

Azreal, for those who don't know, was the guy that took over being Batman during the huge Knightquest/Knightfall crossover in the 90s when Bruce Wayne had his back broken.

This story takes place much later,as Azreal had graduated to his own monthly comic after that story ended (and Bruce returned to being Batman)

This issue is towards the tail end of the comic's existence (It ended with issue 100) and while it isn't ever going to end up on anyone's top ten comics of all time list, it is a solid Denny O'Neil tale. The man was pretty reliable for quality as far as I have ever read....except maybe his Wonder Woman (and even then, I only say that cause he has said it wasn't his best work)

This is one of those comics that I wouldn't pay top dollar for, but well worth a buck or two (and as luck would have it, I'm selling it for a buck here!) As with most comics here, I am only selling it cause I have 2 copies of it for some reason.
