Batman: The Complete Silver Age Newspaper Comics Slipcase Set (Batman Newspaper Comics) Paperback – November 13, 2018

This is a set of 3 softcovers in a slipcase. I previously purchased one the books in hardcover and was happy to be able get all three softcovers for just a little more than the price of one hardcover. The softcovers are the same size, same quality paper and printing as the hardcovers, and having them together in a heavy-duty slipcase cinched it for me.These newspaper strips are typical of Silver-Age Batman comics, with the stories and art greatly improving over time. The later strips are actually well done, with striking art and grittier, more complex stories. But what I like most are the introductions (illustrated with photos) in each volume, which chronicle the evolution of the strip, the problems faced by the artists producing daily installments, the effect the campy 1966 Batman TV series had on the strip (and DC comics in general), and what killed the strip in the early 70s (an interesting tale of copyright infringement). Overall this is an informative and entertaining compilation of Silver-Age comics in a bargain set. I think it’s well worth picking up these books at this modest price.

Bought this for my dad for Christmas. He used to have a large comics collection...before his mom threw them all out. He really enjoyed seeing all the Batman newspaper comics that came out when he was a kid. This is a great gift for any Batman lover.

We got this as a gift for my dad and he absolutely loves it. It contains the Sunday morning Batman cartoons that he grew up with. Plus, the price on Amazon is much lower than at book stores.

Great book set, packaging and delivery. Highly recommend and will buy from again.

Very nice item if you like collecting books and Batman and comics like I do.

Great reproduction, fun silly stories. solid art. Good times.
