Comics Buyer's Guide #649
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Batmania," Batman takes a rare break from the Batcave to gripe about the state of his comic book portrayals—specifically, how far they’ve strayed from his grim roots. When a barkeep suggests a writer named Miller might bring some needed edge, the comment lands with a quiet, knowing weight. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Randy Crawford, this 1986 story offers a self-aware, tongue-in-cheek nod to the rising influence of darker superhero storytelling, all in a single, sharp moment of meta-commentary.
In this short, wry 1986 humor piece from *Comics Buyer's Guide* #649, Batman vents to a barkeeper about the absurdity of his own comic book stories—only to be met with a sly suggestion: maybe a writer like Miller could fix them.
Fred Davis of Columbia, S.C., takes the prize in the "Tales of Destruction!" contest after a tape accidentally snagged his prized copy of World's Finest #12—valued at $215—making it a case of comic book misfortune that’s as funny as it is tragic.
