Customer Review: Excellent reprint quality concerning inking and coloring. Storyboard those days did a good job since the adventures shown are quite fascinating and even a bit hard-boiled. A good chance to view classics. Batman fans do know what they get.
Customer Review: This book is awesome if you are a batman fan. It has four of his early story including his origin. This book also has the origin of the joker and catwoman. This book do not include the very first batman appearance story.
Customer Review: There isn't a whole lot to be said for this archive other than it's a blast. Volume 3 contains the Batman stories from "Detective Comics" #71-86, slightly over a year's worth of stories. Bob Kane and company definitely were hitting their stride here, with many a creative plotline and some very nice... more info
Customer Review: By 1944, although the credits still said "Bob Kane" for contractual reasons, Dick Sprang was firmly entrenched as THE Batman artist on "Detective Comics". In volume four, covering "Detective Comics" #s 87-102, published from mid-1944 through mid-1945, Sprang brought a dynamic and distinctive... more info
Customer Review: This is a great book includes many of batman's stories: like his first appearance as well as the origin stories. This book does not contain the joker first appearance.

Customer Review: It's been a while since I read this book but I was at my uncles spending the night my uncle took my brother the previous day to the library so when I came of course I read it this book features a ton of stories so if you like Batman I reccomend this book.
Customer Review: Batman and Robin come flying off the pages in this magnificent tribute to Silver Age comics. Not yet the brooding vigilante of the Dark Knight series, this classic Batman from the 60's swings from his Batrope with exhilarated abandon. He is fearless, remorseless, and utterly without self-irony. When... more info
Customer Review: To the Batman fan, this particular volume is a particularly gratifying one, as we are seeing some of Dick Sprang's earliest work on the character he was probably best known for illustrating.
This isn't to degrade the work of Jerry Robinson, Jack Burnley or even Bob Kane himself, whose work... more info
Customer Review: As World War II came to an end, the creators of Batman continued to tell entertaining stories. Actually, those two events weren't really related. Batman and Robin were not a place to find too much in New Deal social relevance, like Superman, nor was it a place for super-heroes to smack around Axis... more info
