While I know he won't have the same appeal to a modern audience,
Irv Novick will always be among my favorite Batman artists. Novick's first issue
was BATMAN 204, and for the first year inked by Joe Geilla. The post-camp creature-of-the-night Batman began officially with BATMAN 217 (and
Giordano inks with issue 216), and Novick pencilled most issues up through 266. Mostly scripted by either Frank Robbins, and beginning with issue 224, by Dennis O'Neil (1970-1975).
Novick later came back for another run from roughly issues 310-342. (1979-1981).
Plus Novick's run on DETECTIVE on more scattered issues.
