Yeah, that Batman/The Shadow team-up story in BATMAN 253 was a good one. Enhanced by it having a nice cover
by Kaluta, and a story by Dennis O'Neil, the creative team on THE SHADOW series.
And seeing the regular BATMAN creative team of O'Neil, Novick/Giordano do the Shadow was interesting contrast to
the O'Neil/Kaluta team in THE SHADOW regular series.
I also liked in the story how Batman was inspired to become a crimefighter by The Shadow preceding him.
An acknowledgement that Walter Gibson's THE SHADOW magazine was the inspiration for Bob Kane creating BATMAN.
The follow-up story in BATMAN 259 was enjoyable too.
