Where did the weekend go??

Man, due to my five days of training last week, I only had a two-day weekend, and you know, it really wasn't enough! How do you folks get by without three days off each week? It's a killer!

Oh, before I forget! The one cool thing about getting back into the week is that it brings us closer to the big day on Tuesday!
Today I wanted to fill you in on the October 1984 "Detective Comics", issue #543 to be exact:
This was an installment in a tremendous multi-part storyline which featured the return of Nocturna, who was the villain in issue #529, the one I wrote about yesterday. Having her back was cool; having Moench and Colan working on the book was fantastic; having the focus of the story be my buddy Jason Todd was another highlight. However, the main reason to pick up this book was found on the letters page at the back of the book:
Yes, my first published letter in a DC comic! I was so excited to see my name in print - and to get such an informative response from the editor! Too bad he didn't see fit to correct my atrocious grammar! Oh well...I was young.

The craziest thing having the letter in there was that my good buddy Beil called me on the phone after he read the issue (he bought it before I did) and he said "There is a letter in the new issue that asks about the Batman movie!" and he went on to paraphrase the response. We talked about it for a while, but he never caught that it was my letter, so he didn't mention it. Then when I got to the store and bought the issue, it was a surprise.

I had a couple other letters posted over the years, but they never brought with them the same thrill as my first one, which was in the pages of the greatest hero of all, Batman!!
