About the Author

Dennis "Denny" O'Neil is a comic book writer and editor, principally for Marvel Comics and DC Comics in the 1970s. His best works include Green Lantern/Green Arrow and Batman with Neal Adams, The Shadow with Mike Kaluta and The Question with Denys Cowan, all of which were hailed for sophisticated stories that expanded the artistic potential of the mainstream portion of the medium. As an editor, he is principally known for editing Batman. His 1970s run on Batman is perhaps his most well known endeavour, turning Batman from the campiness of the 1960s TV show, to "The Batman", getting back to the character's darker roots and emphasizing his detective skills. This grimer and more sophisticated Dark Knight, as well as new villians such as Ra's Al Ghul, brought back Batman from the verge of pop culture oblivion. His work would influence later incarnations of Batman, from the seminal comic "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" by Frank Miller, to the movie Batman Begins in 2005.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book......but....., May 21, 2000

By	"samirkhan" (USA) - See all my reviews

I thought that this comic book was a great collection of classic artwork combined with excellent writing. You probably have read some of the stories if you were really interested in crossover titles, but it's still worth having this comic book cos it brings together a lot of the stories in an almost episodic fashion. All in all it was a great comic book and thus rates 4 stars. I hope this helps!

5.0 out of 5 stars very awesome super heroes, April 28, 2001

A Kid's Review

This was one great collection of super heroes and villians, featuring the super hero that stopped Bane which I nickname him BANE-DESTROYER knightsend BATMAN, Silver Surfer, SUPERMAN BAtman captain america and the punisher. I really liked all the battles and featuring a mini-battle between doomsday and hulk in which the hulk would have tore apart doomsday. I like all the art work and the great battles I hope that they make another collection like this in the feature.
