He is the world’s greatest detective and an orphaned son seeking justice. He is Gotham’s winged avenger and one half of a dynamic duo. Throughout his seventy-five-year life, he has been cast as a brooding antihero, a campy chum and a brilliant strategist. But always…he is Batman. The lone mysterious vigilante known as “The Bat-Man” first swung over the rooftops of Gotham City in the spring of 1939. Three-quarters of a century and millions of devoted readers later, this iconic hero is easily one of the most recognizable figures in all of popular culture. From his first appearance by Bob Kane and Bill Finger to his recent reinvention by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, Batman: A Celebration of 75 Years collects the Caped Crusader’s most memorable moments, from such industry legends as Denny O’Neil, Neal Adams, Frank Miller, Marshall Rogers, Dick Sprang, Carmine Infantino, Mike W. Barr, Paul Dini, J.H. Williams III, Greg Rucka, Chuck Dixon and more.
