So, the Owl (not to be confused with Owlman of the Earth-3 Crime Syndicate) begins as a Shadow ripoff, becomes a Batman ripoff, then a more blatant Batman ripoff.... And even though Nick Terry is a private eye, he has a NYC penthouse complete with private elevator and stereotypical Asian servant... ooookay. And a neat trick to have the "phosphorescent eyes" of his bag-mask show up on the shadow he casts.
BTW, half the links on the Stupid Comics index are AWOL again.
