Batman: Strange Apparitions is the name retroactively given to creators Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers' fan-favorite run on Detective Comics. Steve Englehart actually only worked on Detective Comics #469–476, and Marshall Rogers Detective Comics #471–479, but in collected works all of the issues are encompassed into the title. Englehart worked on his first two issues with artist Walt Simonson, and Rogers finished off underneath writer Len Wein.
Strange Apparitions deals with a number of elements coming to a head at one point in Batman's life. A new villain appears in Gotham City, Doctor Phosphorus, who terrorizes the town by contaminating the water supply. He also blackmails the Gotham City Council (whom he had previously held ties to), demanding that they remove Batman from his path. This political pressure is fronted by Rupert Thorne, a local corrupt boss. Along with the two new ones, an older, forgotten Batman foe appears, the nefarious Hugo Strange, who both discovers Bruce Wayne's identity and usurps it. Batman also comes into conflict with Deadshot, the Penguin, and the Joker. All of this is made much more complicated by Wayne's introduction to Silver St. Cloud, a local socialite who just might be the first person to truly penetrate his emotional barriers.
Story: Steve Englehart, Len Wein. Art: Marshall Rogers, Walt Simonson.

from 74 reviewsAbsolutely delighted with my purchase from this Seller. As I have been with my previous purchases
Packaging,delivery and book all great. Fab service too.
I recently ordered two books from Out of Print Graphic Novels; both arrived within just a few days and in excellent condition. I also appreciated that a message was inscribed on the package asking that it not be bent or crumpled during transit.
Ordering this was an absolute pleasure. Came swiftly in the post, professionally packed with protective sleeve, board and wrapping. The book was in pristine condition and is now a treasure.
