Tales of the Batman: Gerry Conway Volume 3 Hardcover HC BRAND NEW Sealed MISP

Description: DC Comics Tales of the Batman Gerry Conway Volume 3 For sale is "Tales of the Batman: Gerry Conway - Volume 3." This hardcover graphic novel completes the collection of all of Gerry Conway's work as a writer on Batman through the Bronze Age. Working on both the monthly "Batman" and "Detective Comics" magazines at the same time, Conway was able to tell longform, serialized stories with plot threads that spanned many issues, introducing an ongoing "soap opera" element to Batman for the first time. This let him tackle his characters and setting in a more sophisticated manner than what would have been possible with mere "villain of the week stories," as the reader follows along with the long-term romance of Selina Kyle and Bruce Wayne, the evolving relationship between Bruce and Dick Grayson/Robin, or the ongoing mayoral campaign and election in which the status of Batman - vigilante of Gotham - becomes a key political issue, diving Batman and longtime friend Commissioner James Gordon! Included in this collection are stories drawn by Gene Colan, Don Newton, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, Jim Aparo, Dan Jurgens, Ed Hannigan, Dick Giordano, and others. There are appearances from many major villains, including the Joker, Riddler, Catwoman, Talia al Ghul, Mad Hatter, Solomon Grundy, Mr. Freeze, and others. Conway brings back other major villains, such as Rupert Thorne and Deadshot from Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers' "Strange Apparitions" storyline, as well as characters like the Squid and even the Mad Monk from the earliest issues of the Golden Age. Most notable of all, however, is the first appearance of Killer Croc - with a multi-issue storyline showing just how deadly Croc can be - brains and braw!. A cold-hearted prototype for the character of "Bane," you'll see how fearsome the latest entry to the classic Rogues Gallery was, before later writers dumbed him down into simply being a lizard man. All in all, this book collects "Batman" #349-359 and "Detective Comics" #515-526. The pages are a nice, thick glossy stock, with beautiful, bold colors and art reproduction. This is truly a deluxe collection, and is now out of print and increasingly difficult to find. This book is brand new and still sealed in the original shrink wrap. It was stored in a smoke-free, pet-free environment. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have! Thank you! ABOUT ME I am a longtime Ebayer - both buying and selling for over 20 years, with a spotless record. This is because smooth, pleasant transactions and customer service are important to me. I've recently created this new account to separate my non-comics purchases from my comic book buying/selling. While its 100% positive feedback rating over the past several years speaks for itself, I am happy to provide you my personal Ebay account which also has 100% positive feedback over two decades. As a longtime Batman fan, I also know how important comic book condition is to collectors and readers, so you can feel comfortable knowing your purchases will be well taken care of! SHIPPING and OTHER TERMS Per Ebay rules, payment is expected within 4 days of the auction end, and I will ship within 3 business days of receiving payment - if payment is received by early evening, usually most items will ship the next business day (including Saturdays). Free shipping will be done via Media Mail in the lower 48 states. Customers from other states (or countries) can inquire for a shipping quote, but it will be more expensive. If a delivery cannot be made by the post office and the item is automatically returned by mail, I am willing to attempt a second shipment - however, the buyer will have to pay for the actual shipping cost of this second attempt (even if the first delivery was made via a "Free Shipping" option or a combined shipping discount was applied for the initial shipment). If an item is damaged in transit or does not otherwise match the original item description, I will provide a full refund - customer satisfaction is important to me. However, all items should be returned in the condition in which they were received. For example, if an item is sent sealed in the original shrink-wrap, it should be returned still sealed in the original shrink-wrap (guaranteeing the item was damaged in shipment and not after receipt). Items returned for reasons other than damage not mentioned in the listing (i.e., mistaken ordering, etc.) must also be sent in the condition in which they were received, and buyers will be assessed a $10 restocking fee per book. I am only interested in transactions with pleasant buyers who are purchasing and operating on Ebay in good faith. To that end, I will cancel any order from any problematic buyers or buyers with red flags. Red flags include: Large amounts of negative feedback from prior transactions High-value purchases from a brand new account without a transaction history Leaving negative feedback for invalid reasons (such as blaming sellers for USPS shipping delays that are out of their hands) Higher-than-average amount of negative feedback left for others More than 99% of my interactions on Ebay, as both a buyer and a seller, have been positive. If you seem to consistently have problems with other sellers, then the problem probably has less to do with other sellers and more to do with yourself - and out of respect for both your time and mine, I would rather not engage in a transaction that may leave either one of us feeling unhappy.
