Batman: The War Years 1939-1945: Presenting over 20 classic full length Batman tales from the DC comics vault! (1) (DC Comics: The War Years) Hardcover – 5 Nov. 2015

Love reading these stories, well worth the price.

It is great to read how the Batman story started in 1939. Roy Thomas shows how in the first six years WW II has an influance on the stories. I like the grim Batman better than the campy Batman.

I got this for Christmas and I have got to say that this helped me while a few hours whilst I waited for the real star of the day (Turkey) to take centre stage, such a treat and a reminder of time that was all too fleeting.

The physical presentation is excellent and the story reprints are well chosen. Rather than censor the racist elements of the stories the text pieces put them in their historical contexts. Roy Thomas does an excellent job of setting the historical scene but he does a very poor job regarding who created what. Bill Finger an Jerry Robinson are barely mentioned. Sole credit is given to Bob Kane which even Kane himself distanced himself from in the late 80s. At the time of publishing. DC and the Finger Family were negotiating credit so this may have been a factor. However Thomas is a talented enough writer to have handled this better.

Beautiful book. My son is loving the stories!

The item was a Birthday gift for a Great Grandson,10 years of age,who likes Batman,and is delighted to get this item.Thank You.

Amazing. Has all of them

Nice book about the war years Batman

This beautiful hardback collection was compiled and edited by comic book legend Roy Thomas.This oversized book is very colorful with a wide assortment of Batman and Robin adventures that occur as World War II was taking place in real time.While many of the stories focus on being uplifting and patriotic, some of the stories delve into darker and more sobering areas of the war.It’s obvious that these comic book stories were designed to raise morale with our men and women who were serving in the Armed Forces, and were also meant to praise and encourage American civilians working on the Home Front. This objective was met using a powerful propaganda tool known as the comic book.So settle back and enjoy the Dynamic Duo’s wartime adventures presented in this very pleasing collection.

I'm starting comicbook collection and this is the first one I bought. Being the batfan I'm really loving nt decision to get this book as the first.The product quality is really premium. Pages are glossy and it contains classic strips and debut of major batman characters like robin and joker.If you're batman fan or dc fan just go for it. Its really good book for collection. This is for everyone who loves reading comics and graphic novel.

Al principio lo quería para mi pero se lo regalé a mi hermano que es fan de batman de navidad y quedo fascinado, le encantó y eso que no sabe mucho inglés así que si piensan regalarlo asegurense que la persona sepa inglés

Eccellente prodotto sotto il profilo della realizzazione cartacea: cartonato, ben rilegato, di ampio respiro volumetrico, ecc.La resa dei colori però la trovo alquanto pesante tale da confondere il disegno.

I bought this as a gift and my brother loved it!
