Scott Dunbier

1) Detective Comics #439
Night of the Stalker by Sal Amendola and Steve Englehart is my favorite Batman story. Also has the third chapter of Manhunter, The Resurrection of Paul Kirk, by Archie Goodwin and Walter Simonson. The perfect comic.

2) Detective Comics #442
The great Batman story Death Flies the Haunted Sky by Alex Toth, script by Goodwin. Also, To Duel the Master, the second to last Manhunter story by Goodwin and Simonson, has one of the greatest fights ever in comics.

3) Detective Comics #443
Gotterdammerung, the final Manhunter story has him teaming up with Batman. Goodwin and Simonson wrap up one of the classic series’ of the 1970s in perfect fashion.

4) Detective Comics #450
Another Walter Simonson Batman, but this time written by Elliot S! Maggin. Walter turns Batman into a four-foot high gargoyle—and it works. Just a really good Batman yarn.

5) Detective Comics #475/476
This one's a tie, a wonderful two-part story but Steve Englehart, Marshall Rogers and Terry Austin. The Laughing Fish and The Sign of the Joker. The best of their terrific run.

I deleted a pair of entries that didn't come very close to answering the question. Sorry, folks.

This feature will return this year but is suspended for CAB weekend and probably for ICAF, too.
