Detective Comics #469 - Walt Simonson art + 1st Doctor Phosphorus

Detective Comics #469

Detective Comics v1 #469, 1977 - Fifty people succumb to a mysterious illness, brought upon by the vengeful Doctor Phosphorus. Walt Simonson's pencils lose their luster mostly due to Al Milgrom's sloppy inking. Figures and especially faces are poorly defined. Unfortunately, Simonson's efforts or recognizable only in the page layouts. Note that this issue marks Phosphorus' origin and first appearance. This Steve Englehart story was later reprinted in Batman Strange Apparitions trade paperback. This is 9 of 12 Detective Comics issues by Simonson. /// key 1st appearance, 1st cover, 1st origin Doctor Phosphorus
