The writer/editor of the critically acclaimed The Krypton Companion
and the designer of the eye-popping Spies, Vixens, and Masters of Kung Fu:
The Art of Paul Gulacy team up to investigate the Silver and Bronze Ages
of Batman comic books in The Batcave Companion!
Two distinct sections of this book follow the Dark Knight's progression from
his campy "New Look" of the mid-1960s to his "creature of the night" reinvention
of the 1970s, through art-jammed interviews with and examinations of the work of
Carmine Infantino, Joe Giella, Murphy Anderson, Dennis O'Neil, Neal Adams, Dick
Giordano, Len Wein, Steve Englehart, Marshall Rogers, Elliot S! Maggin, Mike
Grell, Walter Simonson, Jim Aparo, Irv Novick, and other fan favorites. Also
included are explorations of Bat-lore such as the effects of the 1966
Batman TV show upon comics, a Batmobile timeline, and Batman's colorful
rogues' gallery.
