The 1966 Batman series redefined the Caped Crusader. Despite the ultra-camp factor of the TV series, the show has endured as a fan favorite for over 50 years!
This DC Comics collection features about a dozen stories that either influenced or were influenced by the ABC live-action series. Featuring The Riddler, Penguin and The Joker, almost all of your favorite villains are here! Sorry- no Catwoman. But this volume does contain the origin of the Barbara Gordon Batgirl and the first appearance of Mister Freeze using his original moniker, Mr. Zero.
Some of these stories are sheer genius. Others are quite mad or madcap. You definitely can see the influences regardless.
Speaking of influences, I love the Amanda Conner tribute cover!
With art and stories by Jerry Robinson, Bill Finger, Carmine Infantino and many more, this is a great way of getting to read the stories that inspired a cult classic without having to pay collector's prices.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
