So what will writer Grant Morrison do with Batman? The Batman R.I.P. storyline, started in Batman 677, could be the end of the Caped Crusader as we know him.

To mourn the potential end of this character (at least for a few months) I thought it would be fun to post a couple of my favorite “Death of Batman” covers.

First up is Batman #244. This is a classic Neal Adams cover with R’as Al Ghul in the background. The Neal Adams covers have to be my favorite anyway, and this one wins the prize for me.

If you have any favorite death of Batman covers let me know, I’ll try to dig them up and post them on the site.

My second favorite has to be Batman #291. Who could argue with a tombstone vandalized by the words “burn in hell.” Nice, wholesome words for kids everywhere.

Merry Christmas to everyone! The kids didn’t get up too early this morning, so I’m in pretty good shape (ha, ha)!

To celebrate the day here are some favorite comic book Christmas covers from my collection.

Enjoy the day, Merry Christmas and Best Wishes!

I received an e-mail from one of the members of the Comic Book Secrets Member Only pages, and he is auctioning some of his comics to help families in need this holiday season. The auction isn’t just for toys, the money raised also goes for food, clothes and heat. While there isn’t a way to bid online, you can read more about the organization and how to donate at www.fgfrc.org.

You can go directly to the donation page here, and they accept Paypal.

Check out the website and if you can and think about helping out the families this Christmas Season.
