Rated by buyers -
To the Batman fan, this particular volume is a particularly gratifying one, as we are seeing some of Dick Sprang's earliest work on the character he was probably best known for illustrating.
This isn't to degrade the work of Jerry Robinson, Jack Burnley or even Bob Kane himself, whose work also appears in this volume.
But Sprang, who actually began illustrating Batman in 1941, but whose stories were stockpiled until a few years later, brought a dazzling, magnificient, vibrant look to the feature unmatched by any artist of the time. In fact, he [later w/Charlie Paris inking] set the standard for the character, but was virtually unknown for who he really was [by name] until years and years later when he finally attended his very first comic convention in Kansas City.
Sprang became a lifelong friend of mine and I worked with him closely to ID art he was unaware that he even did.
No serious Batman collector can do WITHOUT this Archive. Classic Batman w/great writing and imaginative illustrative story telling!!!
