In some ways, the Shadow was the precursor to the Batman, so this teamup makes sense. Would love to see another tale with these two Avengers of the Night!<br /><br />- Mike from Trinidad & Tobago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-46493708660905108042015-09-15T18:56:46.392-04:002015-09-15T18:56:46.392-04:00I never felt that Irv Novick was a good fit for th...I never felt that Irv Novick was a good fit for the Batman; particularly as he was being reestablished in his creature of the night persona around this time. This was especially made obvious whenever Neal Adams would display his mastery of the caped crusader in the stories he did that bracketed Mr. Novick's. Irv put in many years of solid storytelling for DC, but was unable to capture the moodiness the Batman required (although Dick Giordano's inks helped considerably).keythd23https://www.blogger.com/profile/00690368680707726203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-30783062586936345312015-09-15T18:44:31.259-04:002015-09-15T18:44:31.259-04:00Blasphemer, lolBlasphemer, lolkeythd23https://www.blogger.com/profile/00690368680707726203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-87188498938274270832015-09-15T17:07:09.904-04:002015-09-15T17:07:09.904-04:00Where's the other 80 pages?

Kaluta did the art but forget if it was just the covers or the inside.

Many thanks -- and, though I know this will be heresy here -- I've always thought the Shadow more interesting, more believable than the Batman.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-13231005880370324762015-09-15T02:53:48.343-04:002015-09-15T02:53:48.343-04:00Beautiful!

Irv Novick gets little credit relatively speaking, but his Batman was a favorite, a lithe and lean rendition which packed the drama of the Adams update with the sure-footed storytelling chops of the Infantino revitalization. His Shadow, if anything, is even better though I notice he drew him fewer times in this story than I remember. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.com
