> "The 80-page giant comic cost 25 cents," he concludes, "but I bought it anyway." ... Miller doesn't mention who wrote, who drew, who edited the book that made him a fan

For a professional comics journalist and fan of the Dark Knight detective, it's strange she brings this up as though it's some dark historical mystery. A little online research suggests that it was 80-page Giant #12, published July 1965.

Her questions about who wrote, drew, edited it are answered in the link below:

Her point that you missed is that he didn't credit his inspirations, not that it's a mystery. It stands out from most comic writers and artists because talking about your inspirations is such a standard thing for people in the field.
