Batman in the 40's

[Super Monkey]

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?

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."

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?
