Batman: Black & White Vol. 1
Batman: Black & White Vol. 1 | Neil Gaiman
6 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
Presented in stark black-and-white tones that all too easily represent Batman's worldview comes this collection of the Darknight Detective's hardboiled adventures. With stories and art by a stellar line-up of comic industry creators, including Neil Gaiman (THE SANDMAN), Joe Kubert (TOR), Frank Miller (THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, RONIN), Jim Lee (WILDCATS, BATMAN) and others, it's not surprising that this collection was awarded the comic industry's prestigious Eisner Award for excellence.

I think for art and sentiment Good Evening Midnight and A Slaying Song Tonight are my favorites, but there is an incredible amount of talent and original takes in these pages. That being said, same rule applies as per regular Batman work, subject matter is largely dark, so I think I'll pace myself in picking up later volumes of this collection.
Definitely a noir flavour. An Innocent Guy is best exemplar for how twisted this collection gets. 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 Under the heading of collection is very much from the '90s:
Monster Maker: Yikes. White writer and artist drawing black thugs with what might be termed exaggerated stereotypical features and no redeeming qualities while Batman pontificates.
The Third Mask not exactly a shining example of neurodivergent rep.

Drama! Sorry about the eye, dude, but I'm glad they changed the ending. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The sheer amount of creative material that must be nixed by nervous publishers...dare we hope for the release of comics archives, once upon a dream?
