The 80-page format gives Cowan room to stretch, and the result is one of the densest, most atmospheric Batman reads of the entire late-'80s run. The WWF WrestleMania back cover — Hulk Hogan, an NES cartridge, and a VCR board game all on the same ad — is a certified 1989 time capsule that somehow makes the whole package even better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNormal wear consistent with age and storage — expect light tanning to interior pages, minor spine stress, and edge wear as shown in photos.
