It's not nearly as comprehensive as Mike's, though, & I think covers only '62-'71. Which is quite nice, but unlike youngsters of Mr. Hatcher's age, *some* of us predate FF #1, by gum. Blackjak –

Y'know, considering what utter crap those late '50s/early '60s Batman comics were, even compared to others of that era, it's kind of a miracle that Greg and I ended up big fans of the character. And a belated happy birthday, O King of Tweed! Red hair notwithstanding, the mother of Robin II in those stories was Kathy “Batwoman” Kane.

So shall we assume that Dick is Batman? And why does Bruce's son have such bright red hair? What redhead was crushing on Batman back then? Oh, and Drippy Haybath to Greg! (The anagram has a long history, involving a disassembled/reassembled "Happy Birthday" banner, but suffice it to say that it's reserved for those I hold in the highest regard.)
