This series is strangely confusing to me. I remember it at one point being hugely popular and extremely collectable. A little research shows me that one of the stories was nominated for an Eisner award, the series has been collected into several fairly expensive hardcover editions, and the collected edition is ranked at #13 on IGN's list of the 25 greatest Batman Graphic Novels. Thanks to this series, whenever a comic is given the "DEEEE-Lux" treament, it's usually done in black and white. It seems to be pretty agreed upon as being an innovative work of art and a must have for any serious Batman fan. Plus I still see "Black and White" versions of comic statues every time I visit my local comic shop.
That's a mighty fine pedigree for a mini right there. So how come the individual issues are worth less than five bucks? How come I FINALLY found the issue I had been missing all these years (#4) a couple of months ago in a comic shop dollar box? WHY is this influental and pretty much universally-praised comic series Longbox Junk?
So let's leave aside my confusion for the moment and take an objective look at the junk at hand. . .
