This credits page says all that needs to be said about that, really... Richmond Lewis' use of reds and blacks in this story is gorgeous.

Still one of the best comics stories ever published.

The art in this is probably what ever superhero comic should look like.

The best part about actual singles' scans? Old letters' pages.

I love Batman doing tedious Solid Snake/Sam Fisher stealth mission shit.

IS THIS REALLY THE END FOR OUR HERO?

HAS THE CAPED CRUSADER PREMATURELY PERISHED, BEFORE HIS CRUSADE COULD TRULY BEGIN?

CAN HE SURVIVE THE WRATH OF THE MOST CROOKED OF COPS?

TO FIND OUT, TUNE IN TOMORROW

Letters pages in old comics are amazing.

I just pretend that never happened.

>>92332574
I hear a lot of complaints with the Absolute scans, but I'm happy with them.
I wish DC still did letters sections.

>>92334805
I think there are legal issues with reprinting letters pages due to the fact that the people in them might not want their names published or that different people might be living at those addresses.

>>92332387
Even in the 80s, they knew.

As someone who loves Year One, what else would you guys recommend reading from Batman? The only thing I felt kept the same tone and was good was Wagner's stuff and Ego.

I don't really care for most of the more typical superhero-y Batman stuff, except Morrison's run.

BATMAN'S BACK

IN POG FORM

>>92337773
Long Halloween
Killing Joke

are first which comes to my mind. I'm sure, someone would recommended better reading order, but I think both of these are "origin" cases, so harm here.

I hope you're ready to see Batman turn certain defeat into one of his greatest victories, cuz I sure as hell am.

I love Miller's Batman - even when freefalling through a burning building with his shit getting fucked up, the first thing he thinks about is how sorry he is that he can't save this one guy.

I really hate the tacky floral pattern they added to the sheets for no reason in the recoloring.

And that's Year One. I hope some of you were enjoying this story for the first time.

Bump. Thanks for your time OP

>>92344463
Thx Spooky.

>>92332028

Thanks, OP.

>>92332028
I never gave myself time to read this, but now I read it all (at least 4 parts), thanks OP

>>92344463
My favorite page from any comic. Gordon looks so happy, he has no clue about the shit thats gonna go down.

>>92349305
It's not really happiness, it's just that now he knows he's a little less lonely in this constant fight against the endless stream of shit that Gotham pours on people.

Someone finally has got his back.

>>92344325
I don't know what it is but something about those last three panels really caught me in the feels. Thanks for this. I try to stray from capestuff so this was a first for me, loved it.
