Holy Flashback! There’s a new Batman comic book based on the pop classic series starring Adam West and Burt Ward! Get ready to feel the swinging camp spirit with Batman ’66 out Wednesday!
Jeff Parker, Jonathan Case and Mike Allred answered the Bat-Signal and will bring the POW! SMASH! BAM! of the 60’s series onto digital screens! The online version is available now and the old-school comic book hits shops this week!
“This TV series introduced a whole new generation to Batman and I am so proud to have been a part of that phenomenon. Events like this remind us all of the legacy of the show and its staying power for generations to come; and it’s fun to play Batman,” said Adam West.
The new book is part of a new licensing and merchandising program bringing to life some of the most celebrated elements of the 1960’s Batman Classic Television Series, including the dynamic duo of Batman and Robin as well as an arsenal of archenemies such as The Penguin, The Joker and The Riddler, as well as Batman’s famous high-tech gadgetry and, of course, the Batmobile.
BATMAN ’66 is by Jeff Parker, the series will feature cover art by Michael Allred and the first issue will be drawn by Eisner Award winner Jonathan Case. BATMAN ’66 will also be collected and available for sale in monthly print issues.
The first arc features the Riddler plotting an art heist with a certain femme fatale in the caper! Is Catwoman a partner in crime, Batman’s ally or working her own angle!
