Detective Comics #439, VFN+ 8.5, Feb/Mar 1974
Bought from new in Dec 1973 at a Christmas London comic mart. Super glossy cover, nice white pages. Just stored away in my boxes all this time. 100 page cents copy giant issue.
The new first Batman story briefly re-tells Batman's origin in a flashback sequence. The artwork by Vin and Sal Amendola is very reminiscent of Neal Adams' dynamic style. Also the origin of The (new) Manhunter is briefly told (frozen in a cryogenic chamber for 25 years - sound ‘Cap America’ familiar?). Lovely Walt Simonson artwork. Reprints: Atom #12, Detective Comics #336, 355, Flash Comics #92, Kid Eternity #3, More Fun #66.
