#2 - Top 12 Favorite Comic Book Short Stories

Once Upon a Time... Detective Comics #500 (March, 1981)
Len Wein and Walter Simonson

2 pages, 12 panels and 39 words. That is all you need to tell the perfect Batman story. It has drama. It has suspense. It has action. It even has a dash of romance. I was 9 years old when I picked up this fantastic book. The story resonated which me on visceral level back then, and it still does today.

Shouldn't Charles Schulz have gotten writer's credit for this story? :)
