Notes
With Batman's 300th appearance in DETECTIVE COMICS, editor Julie Schwartz decided to give Batman and Robin a "new look." In 1964, the sales on these characters - believe it or not - were low and in need of a kick-start. But in the hands of Schwartz's talented team of writers and artists, the Dynamic Duo were revitalized and regained their popularity! By popular demand, DC inaugurates a new Archive series with BATMAN: THE DYNAMIC DUO ARCHIVES Volume One - a 240-page hardcover advance-solicited for arrival in February. Written by Gardner Fox and John Broome, and illustrated by Carmine Infantino & Joe Giella, these celebrated stories have never been collected before! This collection gives comics fans the opportunity to watch a new editorial approach grow and mature. This volume reprints BATMAN #164-167 and DETECTIVE COMICS #327-333 - considered to be the first "Silver Age" adventures of Batman & Robin. [per solicitation]. Series design by Alex Jay/Studio J. Publication design by Louis Prandi. Black-and-white reconstruction on selected interior pages by Rick Keene.
