"Since his 1939 debut in the pages of Detective Comics, Batman has become an icon, instantly recognizable the world over. Yet, despite being known to millions, Gotham City's guardian has been interpreted in so many radically different ways that we all now have our own Batman. To some he's the colorful Caped Crusader who dispatches villans with a POW! To others he's the grim Dark Knight hell-bent on avenging the death of his parents. And to others still he's made of LEGO, has great abs, and likes to eat lobster thermidor! For the first time, this deluxe volume tells the complete story of Batman and the many forms he's taken throughout the years across comics, TV, animation, film, video games, and beyond, to present a compelling portrait of one of the most recognizable and versatile characters in the history of fiction. Covering the complete history of Batman in vivid detail, the book features exclusive commentary from the key creatives who have been instrumental in building the Dark Knight's ongoing legacy, including Neal Adams, Tim Burton, Paul Dini, Steve Englehart, Mark Hamill, Grant Morrison, Julie Newmar, Christopher Nolan, Denny O"Neil, Joel Schumacher, Scott Snyder, and Zack Snyder."--Jacket

"Andrew Farago, curator of San Francisco's Cartoon Art Museum, provides an inside look at the history of the most popular cartoons of the eighties, as told by the writers, animators, voice actors, and other creative talents who brought life to some of the most enduring animation of the decade, along with some of the era's forgotten classics (and not-so-classics). The last decade for both a thriving schedule of network Saturday morning cartoons and a full complement of weekday syndicated programming, the 1980s saw a television animation boom like no era before or since. Farago and a host of animation legends will provide an in-depth look at the most popular cartoons of the 1980s, from the first pitch meeting to the final episode, featuring the art, toys, and inside story behind icons like He-Man, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joe, and the Thundercats. Sidebars explore trends in eighties animation, including adventures in licensing, celebrity-driven programs, second-generation characters, justly forgotten shows, and other totally radical cartoons! The book is illustrated with the very best art from these iconic cartoons, including rare and never-before-seen sketches, cels, and storyboards."-- Provided by publisher
