Batman Illustrated, Vol. 1

Plot

During the late 1960s, after years of the Caped Crusader being portrayed as a lighthearted character, legendary artist Neal Adams created a graphic and atmospheric design that updated Batman's image and revitalized the hero. Reprinting the critically acclaimed illustrator's earliest work, this first book in a series of three showcases the revolutionary art and influential storytelling style that returned Batman to his darker roots and heavily influenced his modern look. Presenting eight classic tales with current revisions to the original artwork by Adams himself, this superb hardcover features appearances by Superman, Flash, Robin, Aquaman, Deadman, the Teen Titans, and the Scarecrow.
