- Essential Reading! The seeds of great things to come.I give this book 4 stars, but not because of the quality of the stories themselves. The artwork is crude and the writting is some times a little off, but the sheer imagination and strength of the characters intorduced here merit an audience's attention after more than sixty years. So be warned that this is not the Batman of today, and some of the work is not easy on the eye and may require patience from the reader.
That being stated, Bill Finger, Bob Kane and friends introduce cultural icons ... Read More

- The Dark, Pre-Robin Batman Collection!All that good-timey old comic feel mixed with pulp noir!
This book collects the first dozen or so Batman stories EVER PUBLISHED. The stories are printed in FULL COLOR and were originally published from 1939 to 1940. This is pure, unadulterated Batman, straight from the original creators!
Reading these stories is like going back in time to the 1930s. The stories are very much rooted in the noir style of the time. Gangsters in long coats, wielding tommy guns. Bruce Wayne ... Read More

- A darker, scarier Batman and a nice formatWhen I ordered this book I expected it to be black and white along the lines of Marvel's Essential's collection. I was pleasantly surprised to get a nice, full color, well formated graphic novel. Thumbs up to DC for the format.
The first several Batman stories portray a dark Batman who actually kills and uses a gun (albeit against a Vampire). It didn't take long before things started getting a little campy. As soon as Robin was introduced it began being aimed straight at kids instead ... Read More

- HOW COULD THIS BE PRICED SO LOW?? NO COMPLAINTS!!It has become a trademark of DC Comics to hesitate from reprinting back issues of Detective Comics and Batman, especially at an affordable price. So in consequence, I had yet to find a more recent, bound collection of the formerly golden and silver age stories than Batman from the Thirties to the Seventies, which has not been reprinted in thirty years.
Though it is an excellent, chronological, historical classic of the heroic Batman, perhaps the best collection of Batman reprints in one ... Read More

- The Dark Knight in his original style!First off, I must say I purchased this book when my friend Anthony Tollin mentioned that the first ever Batman story was a retooled story from "The Shadow." So, I had to see how much the original Batman mirrored the Shadow. Well, after reading "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate" (Batman) and then reading "The Partners of Peril" (The Shadow), I have to agree with him. Bill Finger (the original writer for Batman, Kane was the artist) used the Shadow's story as the script for his first Batman adventure. ... Read More
