Sporting a John Byrne cover painting, I read this story and thought it was pretty decent. Script by Joe Gill and art by Steve Ditko.

Spotlight on the Million Dollar Debut of Batgirl

Download Detective Comics #359





Barbara "Babs" Gordon, the daughter of Batman supporting character Police commissioner James Gordon — debuted in Detective Comics #359 (cover-dated January 1967, but released in November 1966). In her debut, Gordon is on her way to a masquerade ball dressed as a female version of Batman when she disrupts a kidnapping attempt on Bruce Wayne by the villainous Killer Moth. This attracts the attention of Batman and leads to her establishing a crime-fighting career. This new character, jointly created by Editor Julius Schwartz, artist Carmine Infantino and author Gardner Fox, was a collaboration between DC Comics and the Batman television series of the late 1960s which aired on ABC. When television producer William Dozier sought to renew the Batman program for a third season, he asked Schwartz for a new female character to be introduced in the comic book medium, which could be adapted into the television series in order to attract a female audience. The new version of Batgirl was written as an adult, having earned a doctorate in library science and maintaining a career as head of Gotham City Public Library.

Action Comics #425: "The Short-Walk-To-Disaster Contract!" (Neal Adams art)

Download Action Comics #425



I've been meaning to upload some more comic books that were drawn by Neal Adams and this one was a long time in coming. The Grand Comics Database credits Dick Giordano as the sole artist, but we know better, don't we? This back-up story is the first of a two-parter featuring the Human Target, who is hired by his servant Luigi to pose as Luigi's cousin Antonio. He is a circus artist and his act has been sabotaged a couple of times. This was written by Len Wein, but Neal didn't draw the second part so I am going to omit that issue. Enjoy!

Alone. That's what Frawley was. Sealed within a sterile environment. Hurtling between this galaxy and the next. While the nations of Earth bombed each other out of existence!
