This was one of my birthday present from Robbo in September, and pretty good it was too. 'The Long Halloween' was originally released as 13 comics in 1996 and 1997, and has 'Holiday' killing off various people (on each festive occasion), while Batman tries to figure out 'Holiday's' true identity, and how to stop him. Along the way, Batman tries to worm the killers identity off 'The Calender Man', while simultaneously dealing with other arch enemies as 'The Joker', Scarecrow, and 'The Riddler'. It's one of those stories that you want to re-read immediately once you have finished, to have another search for the clues. I still prefer the artwork on the 1960's comics, but the storyline couldn't really be faulted. Top stuff.
