IDW Publishing has announced the upcoming release of Batman: The Complete Silver Age Daily and Sunday Newspaper Comics 1966 – 1972 in a three-volume Slipcase Edition.
The collection consists of 768 pages of the Dynamic Duo’s adventures, featuring a veritable Who’s Who of Gotham City and beyond including Superman, Green Arrow, The Penguin, The Joker, Mad Hatter, Riddler, Scarecrow, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Two-Face, Catwoman, Batgirl, Killer Moth, Poison Ivy, and Black Canary.
A three-volume omnibus of the Caped Crusader’s 1960s newspaper strip adventures-never before collected-now in a premium slipcase suitable for stately Wayne Manor. The daily Batman newspaper strip began in 1966, on the heels of the Batmania craze created by the hit television series starring Adam West, and ran through the early 1970s. The strip boasted stories by longtime editor Whitney Ellsworth and art by DC stalwarts Shelly Moldoff, Joe Giella, and Carmine Infantino. This three-book set includes all the black-and-white dailies, plus all the color Sunday strips.
Batman: The Complete Silver Age Daily and Sunday Newspaper Comics 1966 – 1972 is set for release in October, priced $99.99.
