The Timeless Standard for Batman,
This review is from: Batman Illustrated by Neal Adams: Volume 3 (Hardcover)
This third volume collects the last portion of the Neal Adams Batman. While the second volume is in and of itself excellent, this volume is indeed superior. Phenomenal writing, superb coloring, quality paper, and timeless art.
Present-day comic "artists" still have miles to go before they reach this type of comic storytelling. You get: "Daughter of the Demon": (R'as al Ghul) "Half an Evil" (Two Face) "Night of the Reaper" (Harlon Ellison assist) "The Lazarus Pit" (R'as al Ghul) "The Demon Lives Again" (R'as al Ghul) "The Bruce Wayne Murder Case" "The Joker's Five Way Revenge" (Joker) "Moon of the Wolf" My only complaint is the re-inking of two Power Record Books that were excellent the way they originally were. Still, a volume to be read, re-read, and treasured.

This review is from: Batman Illustrated by Neal Adams: Volume 3 (Hardcover)
A great third book with a lot of covers thrown in. Neal Adams is the expert Batman Artist and it's great to get these stories collected in one bound edition. Also includes sketches at the back of the book and a brief synopsis on Neal and the people who worked with him. My only negative about this book is that (as in the previous two books), they recolored the stories instead of leaving them in their original form. I think it takes away from the authenticity of the work, but it's still a great purchase if you're a Batman fan, or a Neal Adams fan.

Batman Volumes 2 &3 Neal Adams,
This review is from: Batman Illustrated by Neal Adams: Volume 3 (Hardcover)
I have all three volumes of these sensational collectibles and I have to say this was "The Batman" not only as I remember him but the definitive Batman as he should be both artistically ( he looks like an athlete not a steroid pumped jock! No offense Jim Lee fans...but Neal Adams is the master! )and the character and stories themselves are barnone so timeless that it seems every writer for the character since Mr. Oneil refers to those incredible stories in some form or another. I am a firm believer in progressive or evolving a character but this time period of the Batman is untouchable!
