BATMAN SPECTACULAR # 1 / Sum’78 – Hang The Batman // Reed / Nasser / Rubinstein 30pp
All the LSH stories were back-up, except for #231, which was the 2nd half of a book-length story, “A Day In The Death of A World”, where Jim Sherman & Jack Abel did the 1st half. The BATMAN story was the first of 3 (the others done by Michael Golden & Marshall Rogers). Nasser’s featured the only appearance of a really wild design of the Batmobile, with a single seat in the center and a long curved dashboard surrounding it. I may have seen more of his work since, but can’t place any offhand. I do know I read in the 80’s that he moved overseas and was doing a book called POWERMAN about a Middle-Eastern superhero (if I got that right).

Nasser also did ONE issue of STAR TREK for Marvel. (I don’t have these indexed yet, though.) Some time later, I ran across a comment that Jim Shooter did not consider his art “good enough” for Marvel. (Nice guy!)

Wow! Thanks, prof!
If you don't mind, I'm going to make this your thread, since you did all the work!

AND for the record. I've never heard about Jim Shooter saying my work wasn't good enough for Marvel. Just the opposite, I produced many covers and a very nice Spider-Man/Nightcrawler story at Marvel after that Star Trek book, all while Jim was chief editor. I also penciled a War Dancer issue for him at Defiant. I don't believe the comment actually came from him.
And one more thing appropriate here is a new Legion commission I recently produced:
