Guilty Pleasure:
These characters no longer exist in comics today. I'm talking about the smiling Batman, the wisecracking Robin, and the Superman whose biggest worry was his secret identity. In fact, they don't even make comics like this anymore. We are now awash in 3-D computer generated graphics and colorization, unusual panelling, and thicker paper stock. This book will take you back to the 50's and 60's with the clever, simpler stories. It was still a challenge to team a much weaker Batman with Superman and make it work. Yet, the writers of World's Finest made it happen again and again. This is fine reading and one of the best volumes in the DC Archives series.

Great Stories from the Golden and Silver ages:
When I was a boy I loved reading the DC line-up of comics. Action comics, Superman, Batman, Detective, JLA, Flash, Adventure, Metal Men, Jimmy Olsen and WORLD'S FINEST were my favorite books. If you enjoyed these stories as I did, but lost your comic collection along the way - as I did - then this is a book for you. Handsomely bound in a hard cover with jacket cover art remenisant of the old days, the book has 16 full color, complete tales from Superman #76 and World's Finest #71 thru 85. The price tag will probably keep younger readers from buying the book, but then, younger readers would probably scoff at the tales and art we enjoyed in the late fifties and thru the sixties. The trip down memory lane couldn't find better company than Batman, Robin and Superman of old. I'm anxiously awaiting volume two to appear. ~P~
