The Penguin by Alan Grant

[HubCityQuestion]

I’ve been reading up a lot on The Penguin lately, and one of the best to ever write him was Alan Grant from 1989-1997. If you’re interested, here’s a reading order I put together of Alan Grant’s Penguin stories. (@Reaganfan78, take note.)

• SECRET ORIGINS SPECIAL #1, “The Killing Peck”
• DETECTIVE COMICS #610-611, “Snow and Ice”
• BATMAN #448, “The Penguin Affair” (Part 1)
• DETECTIVE COMICS #615, “The Penguin Affair” (Part 2)
• BATMAN #449, “The Penguin Affair” (Part 3)
• BATMAN: SHADOW OF THE BAT #46-47, “The Shadow Falls Upon Cornelius Stirk”
• BATMAN: SHADOW OF THE BAT #59-60, “Killer, Killer”
• BATMAN: SHADOW OF THE BAT #65-67, “Illusions”

That is outstanding. I love The Penguin and I have a ton of the old Alan Grant-era Batman comics, so I likely have a lot of these, but I will look around and see if there are some I am missing.

Coincidentally I just re-read Snow & Ice a few weeks ago. It’s still terrific, and features a great “Batman jumping out of nowhere while saying something cool” moment.
