Maybe we should get up a group therapy or something, talk it out.<br /><br />Something I always liked about this story was the name of the hired killer: Joey Chill.

After a couple of weeks of being my best friend, I'd throw them into the trash. Funny thing is, those comics have made my most precious memories of comic book reading.

I used to bend, fold, spindle and mutilate the poor thing. It's still readable, but barely. I didn't get wise until I was about 12 or 13 that comics, like people, don't like being treated rough. Well, most people, anyway.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-69547742178872292222010-09-24T18:28:01.893-07:002010-09-24T18:28:01.893-07:00Pappy: You are a true believer, my friend.

Also, some comics just got lost along the way during moves and various other disruptions in my life, but I managed to hang onto this one.<br /><br />I think the fact that "The First Batman" been reprinted so many times shows that it's an important story in the Batman mythology.<br /><br />Jeff, I like your idea of taking this with me when I go.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-67073230554272039292010-09-24T08:37:23.878-07:002010-09-24T08:37:23.878-07:00Treated shabbily by repeated readings?

"Nay" I say...treated like the gold it is and for what it was intended for, is what it was (and is).<br /><br />NEVER trust a book (comic or otherwise) that someone recommends, that ISN'T dog-eared and frayed and yellowed. That my friend, is a book that has never been read.<br /><br />I hope they leave this one in your cold dead hands when you go (many, many years from now) and let you take it with you!Unca Jeffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02292248615715408243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-18705860100324202782010-09-24T07:29:17.355-07:002010-09-24T07:29:17.355-07:00This was one of the first Batman comics I read as ...This was one of the first Batman comics I read as a kid around 1961.
