A Baby Boomer dream come true!
Format: Hardcover
I love the Golden Age omnibus Batman series. However, for many of us baby boomers the Silver Age is what we’ve been craving. Those were exciting days back then, looking for the new issue of Batman or Detective Comics on the newsstand. One of the previous reviewers is correct, though, there are some missing issues between the last golden age omnibus and this, the first silver age omnibus, that need to be put into book form at some point. I certainly hope we get them. But more than anything I am really hoping that this will not be the first and last silver age omnibus. By my count, there are almost exactly the issues needed to make three more silver age volumes before we get to the “new look Batman,” which started in mid 1964. And frankly, I hope they continue on with a “new look” omnibus series as well. This first volume, though, was absolutely beautiful! The re-creation of these old panels is breathtaking. When you go back and look at the old dot matrix original issues and compare them to the re-printings contained within this omnibus…well…there simply is no comparison. Batman, the Silver Age Omnibus Volume One is practically as good as it gets. The only thing more I could have wished for would have been the inclusion of the old advertisements that decorated the pages of the original issues. Other than that, this book is perfect. Wow!

Quality Reproduction of Artwork
Format: Hardcover
The book looks great and includes a massive amount of content; however, this is DC Batman Silver Age stories verses Marvel Silver Age stories. It was hard getting through some of the stories and did not make it through the entire book. I think I would have enjoyed the stories that came before this collection and/or the great Neal Adams Batman content. This era of batman stories was just silly and boring. But just my opinion.

Terrific buy for old time Batman comics.
Format: Hardcover
These Batman Omnibus collections are great for compiling these still amazing comics in an inexpensive way. Much cheaper than trying to get the original comics.

This era of Batman is well-written and beautifully drawn
Format: Hardcover
This era of Batman is well-written and beautifully drawn. But that consistency is also its weakness. These are mostly detective stories, hardly any super villains, mostly gangsters and corrupt businessman. Batwoman is introduced here, and Bat-hound is featured in certain stories. Even Superman and the Joker appear briefly. Someone commits a crime, Batman figures out who did it, and the story ends in 12 pages. The Batman team was a well-oiled machine in the 1950s Still I recommend it. Worth it for the art alone and some great novelty stories.

Good for depression.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
A lot of modern day comics have a drab flat look to them, the tales are typically high stakes crossover events that require lots of in depth reading with low pay off. These take me back to a less complicated time, without being constantly reminded of how dire the world is today. This book is full of fun one off events, that keep you hooked. Also, while I enjoy a lone brooding Batman, I am also a big fan of friendly easy going Batman and Robin, Robin is the reader inserted, asking all the right questions. All in all this book is worth every penny, and I look forward to sharing it with future generations.
