BATMAN
THE
COMPLETE HISTORY |

|
| Following on
the heels of SUPERMAN: THE COMPLETE HISTORY, author Les Daniels spotlights
another famed crime fighter-- one who is perhaps even more popular than
Superman. |
|
|
|
| Batman, the
Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight-whatever name he goes by, he is recognized
by millions of fans as the most enigmatic and complex character in the
super hero pantheon. Driven by personal demons, Bruce Wayne has loosed
his shadow self on the villainy of Gotham City for 60 years. In celebration
of this anniversary, Chronicle Books is proud to offer the first definitive
account of Batman's heroic exploits. Les Daniels covers it all-from Batman's
creation and runaway success in 1939, to the campy antics of the Adam West
TV show, to the emergence of Frank Miller's very disturbed and very dark
Dark Knight, to the billion-dollar movie franchise and beyond. Illustrated
with archival comic book art and rare Batman paraphernalia, Batman: The
Complete History also includes a comic book story colored by animator Bruce
Timm especially for this book. Designed by Batman fan Chip Kidd, this history
will please the hardcore fans, and win many new ones.
