As a kid I remember being excited to see every episode of the TV series Batman and Robin from 1966 to 1968, and DC Comics started creating comics and graphic novels about the series. The stories and the art are fantastic.This features the Adam West Batman and Burt Ward Robin, Yvonne Craig Batgirl, and all of the villains appear and act exactly as the actors who portrayed them in the TV series. I love this!
There are currently 5 volumes, and the one I just enjoyed was Volume 2. Our friend John in Florida sent it as a surprise, just out of the blue. What a FUN surprise and a great, entertaining read. I'll be reading this over and over, just as I have all of the TV episodes and watch them again and again.
