AUTHOR/WRITER: NEAL ADAMS

The Pristine Batman
By John L. Daniels Jr.
As any comic historian knows, BOB Kane was the creator of The Batman. The character was dark and avenging against villains. During the 1950's the presentation of Batman had a quirky wholesome persona. Then in the late 60's and early seventies the transformation began with the artist Neal Adams putting his indelible imprint on the suave and sophisticated and daring hard hitting detective with the slick riding corvette as his Batmobile.
The DC adventures were up to the times of the transitional seventies. Neal Adams was ahead his time. Adams had the vision to portray the character dealing with the crime and the social issues and experiences that related to the time.
Now Neal Adams returns to comics writing, drawing the series Batman Odyssey. Adams
presents the Batman as only he can, excellently!.The story is action-packed from panel to panel.
I implore any comic book aficionado who remembers the quality of Mr. Adams bronze age run with Batman tile and the Green Lantern and Green Arrow series of the seventies will be amazed and relive the aura of this fantastic storyteller and legendary artist.
This is pure enjoyment, do not miss this 6-part series.
