New Comics 161

(Denny Colt) is a crime-fighting fictional character created by writer-artist Will Eisner. He first appeared in Spirit Section #1 (June 2 1940), a seven-page insert into American Sunday-newspaper comics sections. The series was brought to DC, where it currently resides, by the one-shot Batman/The Spirit (January 2007). The following month, the first 32-issue ongoing series debuted. It was similar in tone to Eisner's original while updating some concepts for a 21st-century audience. Each issue usually runs a complete standalone story, backed up by a second feature in black and white by a rotating creative team. It is now enjoying its second run, albeit darker in tone, under DC's First Wave line. The first 5 issues of the new ongoing are all HQ Minutemen scans while #6 is a GreenGiant scan.

Some of the greatest Batman stories of all time involve the Bruce Wayne persona and perhaps none so much as Blind Justice. It introduces us to Henri Ducard, one of Bruce Wayne's mentors on his way to becoming Batman. Despite a somewhat ridiculous plot, this trade paperback, prepared for DC Comics' then upcoming 600th issue of Detective Comics, works because the characterizations are so strong to the point of fascination, and the writing is just too compelling to put down. One of the best stories ever to come out of Detective Comics, and one of the best to honor the spirit of Batman. IGN ranks this #11 in its list of the top 20 Batman graphic novels of all time. A high quality cover-to-cover Bchry-DCP scan.
