Batman: The Golden Age Omnibus Vol. 1 Hardcover – 24 November 2015

Sou batboy de muito tempo e estou maravilhado com esses clássicos em coletânea. Posso ler coisas que nunca sonha em ter e agora estou muito satisfeito. Obrigado amazon por fornecesse tesouro para nós colecionadores. As historias são muito antigas possa ser que não agradem leitores de hoje, é mais para quem é fan mas vale cada centavo hahahaha.

el producto estupendo,si eres gran fan de Batman debes tenerlo, solo una queja me llego golpeado de la esquina superior derecha, espero y amazon ponga atención a eso, porque leí otra publicación donde tambien llegaba con varios defectos, sino tendré que cambiar de proveedor.

Great product and in perfect condition

Muy bueno el libro, la entrega de amazon increible llego en 2 días, el único detalle fué el libro que tiene un detalla en la contraportada, un defecto con el pegamento como se aprecia en la imagen. Pediría un poco más de atención al proceso de fabricación. En general excelente amazon como siempre!!

Fantastic to see the evolution of Batman from his first appearance in Detective Comics 27 (only 6 pages) to his leading role. The early stories always refer to him as THE Batman, with the spelling of the name varying from Bat-Man, Bat Man and finally, Batman as he's commonly known today. Early stories showed the pulp influence (with vampires and King Kong-like giants as well as the sinister Asian Fu Manchu villains. The covers imitated the pulps, too. Evil characters are always emerging from shadows, brandishing daggers and machine guns. Lots of violence in the stories too, in the style of the Spider pulp magazines, with Batman often killing the bad guys, usually in self-defense; however, he crosses the line in Batman # 1 by actually machine gunning a fleeing truck of crooks as he states, "Much as I hate to take human life, I'm afraid this time it's necessary." That never happened again. In fact, even the Joker, who had two stories in Batman comics Number 1, stopped shooting cops, rival bad men, and employing the Joker venom, which left its victims with a rictus death grin. Batman 1 also had one of the last solo Batman stories, originally intended for Detective Comics 38 but bumped when Robin debuted in that issue.Interestingly, Batman didn't appear on consecutive covers of Detective Comics for almost a year after his debut. It took almost twice as long for Superman to become the cover star of Action Comics, but it seems odd in retrospect that the editors of Detective Comics didn't spot Batman's appeal even sooner.Robin was the first kid sidekick and inspired a slew of boy assistants, including Bucky, Speedy, Toro, Sandy and dozens more. Bruce Wayne has several girlfriends in the early stories, and even seems to have a thing for the Cat, (later, Cat-Woman), directly in odds to Dr. Wertham's speculation 14 years later that the relationship between Batman and Robin was "the wish dream of two homosexuals living together."That assumption, plus a backlash against any violence in comics in the 1950s, led to the creation of the original Batwoman, Batgirl and a decade of Batman stories featuring Bat-Mite (an elf who dressed like Batman), Bat Hound, and myriad tales of space aliens and fantastic foes. There was even a Bat Ape and an obese circus performer in a story called "Batman Meets Fatman." Batman himself changed shape on occasion, becoming a giant or other nonsensical form. Criminals stopped carrying guns on Batman covers, and talking balloons accompanied static images to water down physical action. "Great Scott! That prehistoric caveman and saber-tooth tiger have come back to life and are too much for Batman!"But that embarrassing period in the 75 year history of the character is, thankfully,long gone. Batman has returned to the Dark Knight origins that defined his original success and is reflected in this massive , large-sized, full-color and highly affordable collection.
