It looks like two scythes or a yin-yang design, though the lens flare suggestion is as good as any!Jack Seabrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216640325305820140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-26247135135733818852013-01-28T15:39:44.610-08:002013-01-28T15:39:44.610-08:00Another great column, guys!
I'm really enjo...Another great column, guys! <br /><br />I'm really enjoying reading your reactions to these comics because these are likely the ones that drew me to Batman in the first place. My first was likely the Riddler issue of the "Who Killed The Batman?", as I have memories of having a very beat up copy of it as a kid. I was by no means a collecter, though, as I believe my next Batman issue was #305, which you guys should be covering in a couple of months. But from that point on, I started picking up Batman semi-regularly. Or as often as I could on an allowance. :-)<br /><br />I also think that after #300, Batman becomes a much more solid, if not outstanding series. They finally start building some sort of recurring storyline for it, which makes a nice change (even if it does pale in comparison to the Boss Thorne story over in Detective). There's also a nice mix of Batman villains (Riddler, Two-Face) and crossover villains (Gentleman Ghost). Plus the creation of Firebug, one of the more interesting creations in the 70s. <br /><br />Strangely enough, given how amazing the Detective run is during this time, I don't recall ever actually buying it (except maybe the Deadshot issue). <br /><br />And I'm guessing that the white thing in the Tec 476 splash page is a stylised lens flare. <br /><br />Lots to say today, folks. Keep up the great work!Greg M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-72087199980229826622013-01-28T14:23:55.789-08:002013-01-28T14:23:55.789-08:00Can someone please tell me what that white thing i...<br />Can someone please tell me what that white thing is on the final splash page of Detective 476 (the one shown above with Batman swinging through the city)? I've read that comic probably a dozen times in the past 30+ years and still have no idea.<br /><br />Is it a crosshair? Is it some attempt at lens flair?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
