Glad you’re liking the change of direction, Barbel.
December 1969…BATMAN #217 and DETECTIVE COMICS #394 - In which Robin leaves for university and Bruce Wayne moves out of the manor.
Part 3 of 3
So, that wraps up the end of the Silver Age and entry into the Bronze Age. The tales will become much darker when Batman is revisited on this thread later in the year. Meanwhile, it’s the next instalment of the Universal Monsters saga coming next…
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Creature From The Black Lagoon Lives! begins tomorrow. Meanwhile here is the letter page from the first issue that harks back to the Dracula rendition…

And there we have it, another super interpretation of the Universal Monsters legends. Frankenstein will be on the menu at some point, but in the meantime we return to Batman, next.
To end this conclusion…the letters page.

Yes, quite a change in direction. I don't think I'd get used to Bruce calling his butler "Alf", though.
December 1969…BATMAN #217 and DETECTIVE COMICS #354 - In which Robin leaves for university and Bruce Wayne moves out of the manor.

To be continued in Detective Comics #354…
Good story, the change is evident and refreshing.

Eagle-eyed readers will notice that I previously numbered this issue #354 - not even a typo, just poor eyesight!

Enjoying this one.

Much better storytelling than some of the older silly ones (though they have their charm).
Glad you’re liking the change of direction, Barbel.

They seem to agree pretty much with us, and of course I'm looking forward to the Creature feature.
Little joke - I hope somewhere they have a young Clint Eastwood!
Clint Eastwood - I do hope so!

Y’know, that would make a good opening to a new film about the Creature if they ever get round to making one. Tell me more ....

Yes, me too. That's no bad thing!
I’m still preparing the next instalment of Creature, so for today the letters pages from the Book 2…
They seem to be on the same page, pun intended, as we are.
So, they're putting Frankenstein together 🙄 then? One impatient reader here.
Yes, Barbel, Frankenstein will be coming to this thread in due course 😁

The penultimate page makes the Creature look rather like Gollum. Very enjoyable.

That's some cliffhanger! I think I said this before but I'd live to see this as a movie.
