Great in this format, to have not only the Goodwin/Simonson stories in their original form, but also all the lead Batman stories by a great range of artists, and a great selection of Golden-Age and Silver-Age reprint stories, plus all the house ads and letters pages.
Different online-scan sites have different advantages. This one allows you to scroll right down to the Manhunter stories, especially useful in these long 100-page issues. But there's a lot to savor here, if you're not just interested in the Manhunter material. The first Batman story by Englehart/Almendola in DETECTIVE 439 is the 1974 ACBA award-winner for best story of the year. As are multiple chapters of the Manhunter series. Goodwin and Simonson also won best writer and best artist awards for the series.
