COIE is, to say the least an impressive feat in terms of artwork. The dialogue for me is a little dated, as well as the "clouds" denoting internal dialogue and thoughts. Not many doing that anymore.

That was one thing that struck me when I returned to collecting a few years back. I initially collected right after COIE came out, which would have been around '86 or so, when it was still common. I think Miller's run on Dark Knight and Year One had more to do with this being over than anything else.
