Fanboy #5

Jul 1999 · DC · 2.50 USD; 3.95 CAD

In this delightfully meta 1999 issue of Fanboy, a mint condition Batman #1 vanishes from a comic shop display, sparking a bizarre caper that sees Finster donning the mantle of multiple Robins—each one styled after a different era of the character’s history. With cameos from legendary creators like Bob Kane, Frank Miller, and Neal Adams, the story unfolds as a playful homage to Batman’s legacy, blending past and present in a clever, self-aware celebration of comics.
