COMIC BOOK COVER GALLERY: BATMAN-related comics acquired in the '60s, '70s, and '80s [Part 2]

Continuing the celebration of my 60th anniversary as a comics fan, we follow last week's gallery of comic books from 1966 and yesterday's gallery of Batman-related comics I acquired in the '60s, '70s, and '80s with one more Batman gallery. Scrolling to the end of today's post, the last five covers pictured below represent my five all-time favorite single-issue Batman stories, which I discussed in greater detail here. (The above-pictured "There Is No Hope In Crime Alley!" would be a close # 6.) Pictured just above those final five, my all-time favorite run of Batman stories is represented by a 1980s series that reprinted the entirety of writer Steve Englehart's 1970s run on Detective Comics (plus the Len Wein-written follow-up penciled by artist Marshall Rogers).

As always, we'll be sticking exclusively to the '60s-'80s era of acquisition I've established for these galleries. Well, almost: I included one 1990 Detective Comics cover just to get a full Dick Sprang illustration in here. Today's selection includes books I bought new, back issues I acquired after the fact (but within the timeline), and B-stock contraband originally purchased without their covers. As always: These aren't actual photos of comics in my collection. But I did have each and every one of 'em at some point in time.

Cover-featuring a reprint of my # 5 favorite Batman story, "The Origin Of The Batman!"
