Yeah, that second run in BATMAN 310-342, Novick's work suffered because he was assigned a rotation of about 6 different writers (Len Wein,
Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway, Steve Englehart, Michael Fleisher, Marv Wolfman) with inks by another huge assortment (Dick Giordano, Frank
McLaughlin, Bob Smith, Vince Colletta, Steve Mitchell).
And while it's interesting to see how Novick blends with a wide range different writers and inkers, I think the lack of a steady
collaborative team made this Novick run a bit half-hearted, relative to his earlier 1970's work with Robbins and O'Neil. Also, like Aparo,
Novick might have been getting a bit past his prime.
