Batman Illustrated by Neal Adams, Vol. 1 by Carmine Infantino, Curt Swan, Dick Giordano, Leo Dorfman, Neal Adams
3.0
Batman by Neal Adams is really something to read. The stories are defiantly so very nice to look at past a few issues. But they are definitely from the age they were written in, excuse certain parts of issues where they use the visual imagery.
But in that period comics still overexplained themselves over and over again and it’s exhausting sometimes really.
Yet, I love comic books. I love them so much and there are always good comics being produced you just have to find them. And there is lots of fun to be had here.
It’s all pretty much Brave and The Bold and Worlds Finest. But here’s an issue or two of Detective comics.
I just love when Batman and Superman team up together. It warms my heart. And the issue Batman has with Deadman in here is probably my favorite of the bunch. It feels like it’s from the 70s in both a good and a bad way. I love the look of the comics of those times, but the writing was lacking in that it overexplained and tried to fit too much into one comic as they didn’t give the story enough breathing room.
All that aside if you love Batman like I do and have the acquired taste for fun wacky teamup comics then this is worthy a purchase.
I should also mention that the pages have this amazing half glossy half paper feel that’s amazing.
3 stars but I love it like a 5 Star.
