BATMAN THE JIRO KUWATA BATMANGA TP (2025)

"In the 1960s, at the height of the Batman TV series' popularity, a shonen manga magazine in Japan serialized fifty-three chapters of original comics starring The Dark Knight, all written and illustrated by Managaka Jiro Kuwata. Now, DC Entertainment is proud to publish the complete Batman Manga adventures in English for the first time in three painstakingly restored volumes. The adventure begins when the Dynamic Duo faces the insidious threat of Lord Death Man!"

"Get ready for five more stories direct from 1960s Japan, written and illustrated by Jiro Kuwata. See Batman and Robin take on a new, more deadly incarnation of their shape-changing foe in 'The Revenge of Clayface.' Then, the Caped Crusader goes toe-to-toe with a masked wrestler who has taken his bad-guy act out of the ring in 'The Hangman of Terror.' And is it really curtains for Alfred, Batman's loyal butler, in 'The Mystery of the Outsider'? Two more epic tales are included, as well as a 2013 essay by Jiro Kuwata reflecting on his goals from fifty years ago when he was given the chance to bring America's most popular costumed crimefighter to a Japanese audience. "

"Jiro Kuwata's classic take on the Caped Crusader concludes! In this final BATMANGA volume, Batman and Robin take on villains including Planet King-a criminal with seemingly infinite powers, plus the Robot Robbers, Clayface, Catman and more! "
