Batman Family Reunion #485 – The Vengeance Vow!

January 03, 2024

Happy New Year! Unfortunately, our reunion hits a somber note, as Ward Hill Terry (Stop Calling Him Frank!) joins Shawn and Paul to mourn the loss of Aunt Kathy.   But we do get some crack detective work by Robin, if not by the HUPD.  Witness an amazing balancing act by Jason Bard in the return of Man-Bat to these pages!  After a dessert of leftover Christmas cookies, we also see a foreign national burglarize Barbara’s apartment! And alas, we get the last chapter of the Demon’s Eternity Book saga! Stock up on those snacks – you’ll need them!

This month’s Bat Family History sources for Kurt Schaffenberger:

Amazing World of DC Comics #2 (1974) – see Gallery for the cover and article, as well as a Schaffenberger Self Portrait from Jimmy Olsen #155 in 1973 and DC Profile #31.
