so, about a year and a half ago, i went up north to help Tai Chi and my BIL move into the schoolhouse

on the ferry over i'm in the gift shop and i buy a comic book, this one

http://images.wikia.com/batman/images/5/53/Batman_and_Robin-26_Cover-1.jpg

now i rarely buy single issue comics anymore, i wait for collected editions (i will buy the odd old comic at yard sales or used bookstores), and when purchasing this particular issue i had already accumulated two volumes collecting this titles run

i had no idea this was the last issue of this particular comic books incarnation and it sat on my shelf for a number of months, a while back i completed the collected editions of this particular series and was surprised to find that issue #26 wasn't included, the series ended with # 25, which was fine as the story went since it was the culmination of a story arc anyway

it's curious though, that issue #26 the final in the series (and a standalone story) wasn't included, and fortuitous that something (and really it was the cover and interior art work that grabbed me) made me purchase this single issue

@djjd62,

Lucky you!

I love the cover art. A clockwork orange? Is that the villain?

@boomerang,

it's a tale of dissolution and rearrangement

Da Da was deconstructing the world as we know it, and attempting to rebuild a new one, it's an odd tale and an interesting one given that DC itself was getting ready to deconstruct and recreate the DC universe in a story arc, called Flashpoint, the result of which led to them wiping the slate clean and a relaunch of all titles and some new ones, origins were re-told and characters were revamped

@djjd62,

When I first started reading your thread DJ, I thought you were going to say, the comic you bought had an error in the printing and you just found out that the value of the comic had recently skyrocketed.

@tsarstepan,

i've probably had comics that were worth money, but i read them

many times

and sometimes spilled food and beer on them (in the good old days i picked up my Friday comic order and would often sit reading them in the Rose and crown with a pint and some fish and chips waiting for whomever was hanging out that night to show up, as we headed out the comics would get stuffed into a backpack and carted all over the city)
