    Classic Crimes of Two Face

     This is the first appearance of Two face. It delivers his classic origin story starting off with him in court being scarred by Boss Maroni. His losing his fiance and waiting on the best plastic surgeon who happens to be in a German concentration camp.  Believing that all hope is lost,he turns to crime  using Boss Maroni's double sided coin to make his decisions for him. He believes himself to be a modern day Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde .We find him being a torturied soul and can't get past his trajedy and loss.. I read this in the Batman archives volume 2. I enjoyed the fight atop the bus and the Batman being thrown clear it, leaving Robin to save the bus from carreening into a store at the bottom of the street. I was wondering how much of the art was Bob Kane's and how much was Jerry Robinsons. It has a crazy ending with Two face's double sided coin stuck in the floorboards. Even though this story has been retold many times.,I must say Two Faces origin story is still very enjoyable in its original form  with its original creators from 1942.
