A fun book that chronicles a time when the Batman and Robin comics were self-contained stories, with the heroes even venturing into outer space to battle the evil-doers.

This book reflects that in it's stories, ... Read More

Like previous reviewers have mentioned, Batman in the Fifties contains light and humourous stories that include outer space adventures. There are also stories that aren't that far out there, and do contain some of the super villians. Also, the first apperances of Batwoman, Bat-Mite, and Ace the Bathound are in here, and the first appearance of Mr. Zero (later called Mr. Freeze). Also, like all of these Batman in the ... books, they are in color, which I wasn't expecting, but pleasantly surprised by, and there ... Read More
