The Batcave Companion
- Fantastic Bat-HistoryFor the Bat-Fan, this text is incredible. Filled with memorable quotes and bat-history, Mr. Eury's research is his opus to the Caped Crusader's history. The index is invaluable alone for helping me recognize the issues and stories I've missed in the Darknight Detective's Silver Age.
One wonderful thing about this book--is that it brought me awareness of the sixties Batman newspaper strip by Joe Giella and others. It would be great if those sixties Bat-stories would be collected into a trade paperback. Though it's not shown in the Batcave Companion, I did get a kick out of seeing Catwoman dressed in prison strips and high heels at the same time.
I do have to confess that I would have liked to have seen the text's suggestion that Ann Margaret play Poison Ivy. That would have been an interesting appearance indeed.
A great book! I look forward to more of Mr. Eury's work.

- A MORE THAN WORTHY BATBOOKI breezed through the pages of The Batcave Companion and that was enough to get me to purchase it. It's not the type of book that fixates on Batman's definitive or multiple origins; his stats; in-depth rogues gallery; modern trade paperbacks you ought to purchase, etc. Instead, this book goes behind the curtain to look at the people who shaped the Dark Knight during his most definitive periods. There's a fine balance between the attention given to the creators and to the superhero icon they worked with. More recent creative teams contend with Batman as the legend; however, the folks covered here more or less MADE the legend on panel and on television.

- Black and white illustrations throughout bring the Batman history to lifeOn the brink of cancellation in 1963, Batman was rescued by a comic book artist who gave the caped crusader a new look and multimedia stardom. The stories behind Batman's rise, fall, and resurrection are told in THE BATCAVE COMPANION, with essays, issue-by-issue indexes, and commentary by two artists responsible for Batman's fame and fortunes making for an outstanding survey for any graphic novel or cartoon history collection. Black and white illustrations throughout bring the Batman history to life.

- DefinitiveThis book is the definitive look at Batman in the Silver and Bronze ages. Through use of interviews with the writers, artists and editors of the comics, critical reviews of the comics, and complete checklists for each and every comic, it presents a complete picture of the Batman phenomenon of the '60s and '70s. Lots of great artwork, too. First class package. If you're a fan of Batman, this book belongs on your shelf.

- Holy Batbook! What a fantastic readA wonderful book - as are most from Two Morrows - and highly recommended for all lovers of the The Dark Knight of the late 1960s and early 1970s when Neal Adams was king.
