Title: Batman in the 40's Post by: Super Monkey on May 12, 2004, 11:30:21 PM (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1401202063.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg)
I got this TPB and I am about half way done with it. Pretty cool stuff so far, I think I will get some of the other collections later on. Does anyone else here have this TPB and what do you all think of it? Title: Re: Batman in the 40's Post by: nightwing on May 13, 2004, 02:29:45 PM I was excited about this one, but when I picked it up and thumbed through it I realized I already have 85-90% of the stories elsewhere, so I couldn't justify the price. It's getting to the point where I can't keep buying the same material over and over, no matter how fun the packaging. Which is why I'll probably give the Neal Adams Batman volumes a miss even though such a thing would have been the stuff of my fanboy dreams growing up. (Well, there's also the fact that Neal keeps making a pluperfect idiot of himself in his rants over at his official site.)
But if they follow up with a Superman volume, I'm more likely to go for it since I've largely steered clear of the Archives. I'd welcome a TPB that's essentially a "best of the GA Superman Archives." Title: Re: Batman in the 40's Post by: pocketmego on May 15, 2004, 12:46:56 AM I read some of Neal's rants and all I have to say is that the man has a LOT of nerve commenting, especially in such an overt manner, about an industry he has chosen not to be part of for the last 30 years.
I mean, if he cared so much, he might have continued working for Marvel or DC. What is the date of the last Neal Adams story you own? -Ray <<<(Well, there's also the fact that Neal keeps making a pluperfect idiot of himself in his rants over at his official site.) >>> |
