*DC: Following the huge success of the Batman Animated TV series in 1992, which was praised for its thematic complexity, film noir aesthetics, darker tone, and modernization of its title character’s crime-fighting origins, DC launched a comics adaptation which almost reached the heights of its TV inspiration. Entitled Batman Adventures, it was set in the same nouveau-retro hybrid milieu as its televisual inspiration, and featured mostly done-in-one stories which evoked the finer aspects of comics’ Silver and Golden Ages. With stellar creators such as Ty Templeton, Rick Burchett, Brad Rader and the late Mike Parobeck, these issues were a nostalgic delight. We are pleased to have many of the first Batman Adventures series (there have been several) back in stock, commencing with issue #1 (VF+ p £20), and running through to #22, including two of the sought-after Joker cover issues: #3 VF/NM p £25 and #16 NM p £25.
