Comics as sheer fantasy!, Dec 11 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Batman - Archives, VOL 07 (Hardcover)
Comics today, with their gritty realism, are fine; I like 'em. But I can never forget the delight attendant upon reading these old Bill Finger Batman comics. Their extravagance was a good thing. Their contrivances were the conventions of a dream world. They were unadulterated fun. No possibility of the Joker murdering Robin, etc. Innocence was not childish, but mythic. A whole different game from that Batman plays today. Not to complain! But they are very different, and I love the old Batman mythology. You will, too, and you will find plenty of it in the present volume! Visually beautiful with delightful story telling. Which one is the "real" Batman? I wouldn't care to say. I only know that, as I read these tales, I have no lingering doubts as to whether I am reading forced and obligatory "relevance" or whether Batman is a mere detective inexplicably sporting a strange suit. All is as it should be! And I can't wait for the next volume in the series!

Fascinating stories, Nov 14 2008
By Dr. Juergen Trochimczyk - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Batman - Archives, VOL 06 (Hardcover)
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.
