- Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2018Just got this today and perfect timing for a rainy day to stay inside. This is a fine addition to the series, allowing bat-fans to read (possibly for the first time or at least the first time in years) some of Batman's lesser-known or not normally reprinted adventures from earlier years. Colin's artwork matches the stories, most of them seeming to have a Gothic/Horror/Supernatural bent to them. The only real limitation to this particular volume is that, since its is a volume of stories based by the artist, you get several "part ones" of stories, including one I have been dying to read for years - "The Joker is Wild". Well at least I got part 1 and hopefully part 2 will show up elsewhere. That should not discourage anyone from buying this book, just a warning. Also it was nice to see from an aesthetic point of view that they went back to the original stylization o the dust jacket, just so that it looks more uniform on my shelf.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2018As usual, these Tale collections of the Batman deliver what is promised. The collected stories are bound in hard cover and appear in glossy pages. Although I miss Neal Adams and Jim Aparo, Colan's artwork is effective in delivering the moodiness that often serves as background to these Batman stories. Being an art-oriented work, it has the handicap of delivering many incomplete stories. The stories during this period often started in a Batman issue and concluded in a Detective Comics issue. Nevertheless, they are still worth reading.
Plot-wise, the stories written by Doug Moench have the style of TV melodrama. While Batman struggles with the usual canonical villains, every story is connected by sub-plots: a tenuous relationship between Jason Todd (the new Robin) and Batman, the return of Vicki Vale, the fragile health of Commissioner Gordon, a corrupt Gotham government, and assassination attempts against an ineffectual Sgt. Buillock. All this happens while Batman struggles against Poison Ivy, the Joker, Two-Face, the Penguin, Crazy Quilt, the Catman, and the Scarecrow.
Wonderful volume on the Batman.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2019I bought this book for my Kindle because Gene Colan is a fine Batman artist, and l love me some Batman. (Plus I bought and read the first volume). While the art did not disappoint, the overall experience of reading this volume was a bit of a frustrating experience. The reason is that during this time of Batman's publication, the stories ran consecutively across Detective Comics and the self-titled Batman comics (For example Part 1 would run in Batman, Part 2 in Detective, Part 3 in Batman, etc.). But Gene Colan was only drawing Detective Comics at the time. So, almost all of the stories presented in this book are woefully incomplete. Meaning you only get either the beginning, the middle, or the end of a story, and that's it. Never the entire thing. This makes for a very confusing and disjointed reading experience, and the sole reason that I could only give this book 3 stars.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2018I started reading Batman in 1984 so this collection is right up my alley and i might be a bit biased. It is true we do get a lot of part twos of Stories but that era was usually pretty good about recapping what previously happened. This is one of my favorite eras for Batman so glad to see we’re getting these stories collected. This time has been a bit forgotten after Dark Knight returns and Crisis. Colan might not be everyone’s cup of tea but for fans of this artist this is a must own

5.0 out of 5 stars Sigue.la gran coleccion que recopila comics de BATMAN
Recopila una epoca que en España o no se saco o era casi imposible de seguir. DC carga con haber estado mal representada en los 70 y 80 en España. Preferiria una recopilacion lineal de las historias ya que te quedas a cuadros cuando alguna historia no termina porque cambie el autor. Un error que DC deberia haber corregido. Con saber un.ingles medio ya lo puedes leer bastante bien. en la linea de la epoca y el resto de tomos de esta recopilacion. Eso si se mantiene un.nivel.de calidad aunque no.me guste demasiado cuando Batman tiene que interactuar con otros heroes. Brave and the Bold era mas forzado que otra cosa. Mejores las historias de Batman en solitario.
