Je mets 5 étoiles car malgré l'ultra patriotisme inherent à l'époque, toutes ces histoires sont cultissimes.
This is a really fun collection if you like Bronze era DC comics. A lot of the plots are contrived and don't make a lot of sense, but the way Bob Haney makes it all work still makes me happy to this day. This volume is collected to showcase the art of Jim Aparo, who was the definitive Batman artist of my youth. His Batman is kinetic and expressive, his women beautiful and mysterious, and his Commissioner Gordon gruff and commanding. All of these stories appeared in the the pages of Brave and the...
Aparo is my very favorite batman artist, so I really enjoyed this book...even though Haney's stories were kind of nutty most of the time. I can't wait for volume two!
BEST BATMAN STORIES EVER. These Aparo stories from The Brave and The Bold (along with Neal Adams run on Batman) for me are the most essential Batman stories ever. They're all team up stories with other heroes from the DC Universe and are from the 1970's, when Batman really was the world's greatest detective. That was his super-power. He wasn't dark or gritty. He was a detective, he solved crimes and these are mystery tales. This collection is utterly timeless and great for readers of all ages. E...
I had a lot of fun reading this and the good far outweighs any bad. What I liked most though was the artwork. Not sure when I will hit volume 2, but for the time being this was a fun time.
The stories, by Bob Haney, are variable, but never less than entertaining. The art, by Jim Aparo, is always fantastic, and it's great to see him finally showcased in a book like this. Let's hope the "Volume 1" label isn't just being optimistic!
Early versions of not only Batman but so many other characters in the DC universe. Great art. So glad for these re-releases.
I'm BATMAN. No, I'm not, but who doesn't love to say that? Or love Batman for that matter? In my lifetime, I think it's fair to say Batman has overtaken Superman as the biggest Superhero on the planet, and certainly the biggest in DC Comics. The Shallow Comic Readers Buddy Read this week is all about that Bats, no trouble.This is a gigantic 500pg collection of DC's The Brave and the Bold book, which was a Batman team-up showcase for many many years, but this one focuses on the early-mid 70s,
Absolute classicsWhile the writing ranges from the wacky to downright offensive, it's still great fun. It's the art,however, that's breathtaking. Aparo, to my mind, ranks second only to Neal Adams as the all time great Batman artist.
This book collects the beginning of Jim Aparo's legendary run as artists on Brave and the Bold, collecting Batman team ups from Issues 98, 100-102, and 104-122. The stories are all by Bob HaneyRather than detail each team-up , I'll offer some highlights both good and not so good.The good:Jim Aparo has been an overlooked talent who brought so much to Batman with so many great panels, and little added touches that bring emotion and power to the work.Wildcat Returns (#88)Batman has to deal with rit...
Some of the finest comics ever made?I remembered these from my childhood. All the big players of the dc universe. The villains are pretty funny ,in an unintentional fashion.
Some of the stories were hit or miss but the art is spot on through out. it's always interesting to me to see how comics have changed through the years. Solid collection.
Jim Aparo was one of the great talents to come out of the late Silver Age of comics. He is among the greatest artists to ever delineate the Batman and I loved reading this first volume of his collected Batman works. The stories are all from "The Brave & the Bold" and all written by Bob Haney in his own unique voice. But Aparo elevates each tale with his superb draftsmanship and storytelling abilities. He pencilled, inked, and lettered all of the artwork in this volume which is frankly a little i...
a great compilation of Cheesy, campy Batman comics from the 70's After re reading this I've found I love it. and some great artwork in here as well.
