From the publisher

Following on the heels of Superman: The Complete History, author Les Daniels spotlights another famed crime fighterone who is perhaps even more popular than Superman. Batman, the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knightwhatever name he goes by, he is recognized by millions of fans as the most enigmatic and complex character in the super hero pantheon. Driven by personal demons, Bruce Wayne has loosed his shadow self on the villainy of Gotham City for 60 years. In celebration of this anniversary, Chronicle Books is proud to offer the first definitive account of Batman's heroic exploits. Les Daniels covers it allfrom Batman's creation and runaway success in 1939, to the campy antics of the Adam West TV show, to the emergence of Frank Miller's very disturbed and very dark Dark Knight, to the billion-dollar movie franchise and beyond. Illustrated with archival comic book art and rare Batman paraphernalia, Batman: The Complete History also includes a comic book story colored by animator Bruce Timm especially for this book. Designed by Batman fan Chip Kidd, this history will please the hardcore fans, and win many new ones.

Description:
Chronicle Books Llc, 1999. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 206 PAGES INDEXED. Book has been well protected by the dust jacket. Book and dust jacket both have some bumps to corners and spine and minor scuffing to covers, but the art remains brilliant and beautiful. In 1939, Batmans dark shadow swooped over the comic book scene and his vigilant battle with the vicious villainy of Gotham City has been thrilling his fans ever since. Once tragic victim of a horrible crime, Bruce Wayne's nocturnal alter ego became the ultimate crime fighter - teamed with Robin the boy wonder and equipped with formidable array of bat accessories. Batman the complete history offers the first definitive history of the most popular superhero of all time. Chapters include: shadows, wings, masks, cloaks, signals
