Does anyone know who did the covers on the Milligan / Aparo run of Detective?

I believe it was Norm Breyfogle... it was actaully a crossover between Detective and Batman... Milligan wrote all issues and Aparo and Breyfogle doing the interior art.

So Greg, how about Blaze of Glory/Apache Skies by John Ostrander? I usually don't like Westerns, but read this, and loved it!

I don't own it, Tom. I'm always on the lookout for Ostrander comics, though, so I'll have to keep that in mind!

Also, thank you for your review of Daredevil. I bought these as they were being released, and...THIS is what made me love Daredevil. Chichester's writing is amazing, and he succeeds where others would have failed. The story is so powerful because it's so average.

Thanks for these great recommendations. I'm putting together a back issue shopping list for the next time I'm in the states and this has helped a lot. But does anyone have an idea of where I could look for more ideas? Sorry Greg, but unless you're planning on finishing I-Z in the next 3 weeks then I need another place to look!

Um, Greg, some of the links to popculture shock, like the 'Avengers Forever' review, are dead. Could you retify the problem? Been meaning to read your take on these comics. Thanks in advance!

sads: Yeah, I know about the dead links. I have to move the essays over to my old blog until I can update them here. Sorry about that! I'm trying to get it done when I can!
