My mom bought this issue for me and my brother at a used bookstore in Lafayette that also sold comics. It was a little banged up, so it cost 39 cents. 🙂
That store got ahead of the 90s boom and comics became much more of its focus, but then it tanked like everything else during the bust.

I haven’t seen the movie, and this is pretty funny.
But…maybe comic book artists should increase their page rates, band together, start a union or guild, or fight together in some other way so that this isn’t so far-fetched?

The average chicken can recognize more than 100 other chickens.
Chickens remember the past and anticipate the future.
And they communicate specific information through at least 24 distinct calls.
But wait, there’s more!

I’ve wanted Samnee on a Batman book for so long, but I didn’t start reading this series until I signed up for DC Unlimited Infinite.
Here’s an “ordinary” page of Samnee doing his thing. No Batman in sight, but it still feels like a Batman book.
