About the author

Doug Moench, is an American comic book writer notable for his Batman work and as the creator of Black Mask, Moon Knight and Deathlok. Moench has worked for DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics and many other smaller companies; he has written hundreds of issues of many different comics, and created dozens of characters, such as Moon Knight. In 1973, Moench became the de facto lead writer for the Marvel black-and-white magazine imprint Curtis Magazines. He contributed to the entire runs of Planet of the Apes, Rampaging Hulk (continuing on the title when it changed its name to The Hulk!) and Doc Savage, while also serving as a regular scribe for virtually every other Curtis title during the course of the imprint's existence. Moench is perhaps best known for his work on Batman, whose title he wrote from 1983–1986 and then again from 1992–1998. (He also wrote the companion title Detective Comics from 1983–1986.)

Moench is a frequent and longtime collaborator with comics artist Paul Gulacy. The pair are probably best known for their work on Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu, which they worked on together from 1974–1977. They also co-created Six from Sirius, Slash Maraud, and S.C.I. Spy, and have worked together on comics projects featuring Batman, Conan the Barbarian and James Bond.

Moench has frequently been paired with the artist and inker team of Kelley Jones and John Beatty on several Elseworlds Graphic Novels and a long run of the monthly Batman comic.

I skipped most of this issue to read the first time Jason Todd becomes Robin! It’s funny, he dyes his hair to look more like Dick’s Robin.

A veces ni yo te entiendo, Bruce...

Batman logra acabar con el Joker, quien planeaba asesinar al General Díaz para dividir a los guatemaltecos y quedarse con el gobierno del país, sin embargo, el hombre murciélago descubre el plan, salva al general, hace enmiendas con los rebeldes y se asegura que ambos bandos conozcan la verdad, logrando momentáneamente la paz en esta guerrilla. Por supuesto, salvando a Vale -y a la reputación de Bruce Wayne de paso-.

Sabemos también que Alfred dio a Julia en adopción y al morir su padre adoptivo, éste le dejó una carta con la verdad de su padre biológico, motivo por el que la mujer terminó buscando a Pennyworth, pero no sólo eso sino que también por grandes sospechas de que su padre en realidad fue asesinado.

Lo que tiene a mi corazón de pollo alborotado es que dejaron a Jason solo en la Mansión, por lo que se dedicó a investigar los rincones que le quedaban sin conocer, resultando en husmear un poquito en la antigua habitación de Dick Grayson y... encontrando el viejo traje de Robin. ¿Qué pasa después? Básicamente le salva la vida a Batman en el único enfrentamiento donde el Joker estaba lo suficientemente desquiciado como para realmente atreverse a matar al héroe, pero fue interrumpido por el niño. Dicho sea, se tuvo que pintar el cabello y logró incluso engañar al mismísimo Batman por un par de segundos. ¡¡El niño sólo quiere ayudar!! Entiendo que Bruce esté renuente, pero ¿qué tanto es "no quiero poner otro niño en peligro" y qué tanto "no sé cómo abrirme con un nuevo compañero"?

"You were impressive, Jason- I can't deny that. But at the very first opportunity, you will remove that costume. You had no right to wear it in the first place. Becoming my new partner is one thing... Stealing someone else's very identity is another- And one I won't allow".

Es una historia entretenida y que ocurre en Guatemala. Pequeña y corta aventura de Batman, con más historia en el que muchos otros números.

2 stars for the very dated story (I was feeling generous)
5 stars for the iconic cover
