Batman Family/Detective Comics?

Best Batman Logo like Ever too.

Yep. I like the other Bat-logo of that era too, but I prefer this one as well.

I always liked this cover, because the logo was so frickin' huge on it. Great cover design...

Marz's portrayal of Kyle Raynor always reminded me of Will Payton Star Man for some reason. I guess the whole new hero vibe.

Great covers. I sold off all my comics in the mid 1990s and haven't seen most of those covers in years.

I couldn't get into the Peyton Starman, but I think that was simply indicative of an era of my adolescence where I preferred my heroes with that hint of British/vertigo (before all my fave titles of the time were branded in that line). Which I think Robinson's Starman fit into.

Loved what he did with Peyton... You really get a sympathetic character with a real arc, and the twist with Ditko's was kind of cool. Back then Robinson seemed to have a real gift for imbuing all the Starman with a bit of character rather than just tossing them out on the heap. He really wrote the template on the legacy hero, and it's really telling that he was a mentor to Geoff Johns in hose early days.

Hey, I see the Cavalier there, too--but he's no D-lister in my book.

I love how Killer Moth & Cavalier were kind of evil versions of SA Batman.

Hmmmm. This guy looks familiar... I agree though. That logo absolutely looks the best.

I'm presently reading a trade called Batman in the Seventies and it features many of the mentioned issues. Great stuff so far.

The story from Batman Family #1 is in the Batman in the Seventies TPB. Great early Mike Grell art.

Did Alfred and Gordon have their own solo adventures in this title as well? I'm guessing those didn't last as long since I don't remember them in later issues?

'70s Batgirl will ALWAYS remain HOT... Her Mego figure did her justice, of course..

Still prefer the purple spandex look, but she'll always sizzle regardless.

A few year back I got the complete run of Batman Family. Great stuff and I wouldn't part with them.

If the cover mentioned Man-bat, I had to buy it as a kid.
