Obviously an old article but the first time I had read it. It gave me a better chuckle than the other measuring contests going on at the moment.

 

I hurt myself laughing at #9.

 

Enjoy.

#2 was way ahead of it's time

Why just 20?

#1 and #2 were

most people say I will start collecting Bats when I finish my ASM run

and I say NO, because I am a completist and the 60's Bats were just nutso!

I have never read the older Batman books. Anybody who has read them and want to chime in on the stories? I have wondered if the stories were as "unique" as some of the covers.

They are almost single-handedly responsible for the rise of marvel superheroes.

Not a very good list. There are covers far more ridiculous than most of those. Where's Batgirl with a run in her stocking?

[Hepcat]

The buffoon who wrote the article seems to have forgotten that they're supposed to be "funny books". And Batman #133 is one of my very favourites from the entire Batman run.

That's another one I really like!

those are great

Definitely a lot of material to pick from so limiting to the 20 worst would be a challenge. Speaking as someone who own the entire run I can say a lot of the GA stories are pretty campy. Not my thing but if you like that sort of stuff you might enjoy them. The stuff from the 70s are probably the best especially with Neal Adams artwork.

I do have a couple of older Bats and this one stood out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think I might also post this in Silver to rebut the claim that early Marvels (i.e., Avengers) were incredibly corny.

 

In comparison, I'd say that early Marvels were Pulitzer prize material.

Thanks for posting that issue. (thumbs u That was fun to read. Yeah, pretty corny but as a 12 year old it was probably pretty darn cool. At least the covers are related to the story.

Batman 48 with the diagram of the Bat Cave is hysterical. So true.

 

Thanks for that link.

[Wally's Comics]

one thing I guess is that people did A LOT of drugs in the 60's,

that is the only way these survived.

 

That TV show was so bad it was good.

 

Don't bother me I am taking seven bong hits and reading this months issue of Batman.

I bought a Bats 133 on the boards today from Shiverbones

First, many thanks for posting this gem.

 

Second, I wanted to make note regarding the last panel in the story; LOVE that 1960 Batmobile.

What about Dark Knight Strikes Again?

 

Surely that would be on the list too

"The Joker's Comedy of Errors!" in Batman 66 is what immediately came to mind when I read the subject line for this thread. Classic! I cannot help but chuckle just thinking about that issue.

That is the infamous issue with all those boner jokes in it right???
