DETECTIVE COMICS #1000 GETS COVERED IN PRAISE

To celebrate issue one thousand — I repeat, one thousand — of Detective Comics, DC have decided to turn Batman into a left-handed specialist in goat farming who’s addicted to cheese. Mainly, goat's cheese, otherwise known as halloumi, which will then be churned out into eighty-nine different spin-off titles, including Captain Albania, The Savage Smurf, She-Man, and Dolly Dilly Does Dallas. Ha! Only joking, folks, because, in all seriousness, DC Comics have decided to do something very special for this momentous occasion. In fact, it’s so God damn special, that I actually feel compelled to tell you something about it!

Well, between you and me, they’ve managed to hire an assortment of truly talented artists to illustrate 33 different covers for this landmark 96-page issue. So, when you go to your local comic shop and pick up a copy, you’ll have the option to select a cover you like the look of (while stocks last). Now, some of the artists involved, include...
