Batman: Tales of the Demon by Denny O'Neil
5.0
Absolutely the Batman shit I'm here for, with globetrotting On Her Majesty's Secret Service bullshit and Doc Samson desert swordfights.
Ra's and Talia's swingin' Dracula AD1972 duds and Amicus style incense-smellin' lairs? Heck yeah! Maybe it's due to the fact that 1971 comics writers* didn't really know women have normal brains but I kind of love the fact Talia is both supremely capable and completely lives in her own world.
Her dad may be a supervillain but she just thinks Batman is REAL COOL and wants to MARRY him and you know her day job may be assasseenation and all but come now my beloved...
I understand that "lethal airhead princess" doesn't really fly anymore but lemme tell you I'm a fan. Leave it to dipshit hack Grant Morrison to make her a bad guy!
Also a kudos for being a RARE DC collection that you can follow from start to end without UNIVERSE (or at least Gotham) WIDE EVENTS becoming a thing.
