Coming Monday to Hero Histories...

Riddle Me This, Caped Crusader Aficionados...

...how many of the legendary 1960s TV series' episodes were based on actual comic book stories?
The answer is...more than you think!

There's even a book reprinting a number of those graphic tales...but not all of them!

But, did you know a 1960s TV series tie-in novel with an original story (not a novelization of series episodes or the feature film) also adapted several comic stories into its' narrative?
We re-presented (starting HERE) this never-reprinted, original 1966 novel by "Winston Lyon" (actually noted Golden Age/Silver Age comics writer William Woolfolk) which combined elements of both the comic book and TV series versions of the Caped Crusader!
What we didn't realize at the time, was how much of the comic book version was actually taken directly from the comics!
Three different comics stories, each one featuring a different villain/villainess, were utilized to present multi-chapter crimes to baffle the Dynamic Duo!
We're presenting these tales in the order the foul fiends perpetuate their 
perfidy in the novel, along with links to the actual chapters for each one...
Monday!
Wednesday!
Friday!

Added to the 2025 RetroBlog Summer Blogathon...BATMAN VS THE THREE VILLAINS OF DOOM...ENHANCED!

 A Couple of Years Ago...

...we re-presented this never-reprinted, original 1966 novel by "Winston Lyon" (actually noted Golden Age/Silver Age comics writer William Woolfolk) which combined elements of both the comic book and TV series versions of the Caped Crusader starting HERE!
What we didn't realize at the time, was how much of the comic book version was actually taken directly from the comics!
Just as numerous plots of the TV show's first season were based on comic books, three chapters of the novel took their main plots...crimes by specific sinister super-criminals...from three different comics guest-starring those baleful baddies!
You'll see the specific chapters...along with the comic stories, on Sundays in August, right here!

HOLY CAMP CLASSICS!!! Are You Ready for the Next RetroBlog Blogathon Entry?

Go back 55 years when BatMANIA swept the country, and join us as we relive...

...a Batman adventure unlike any other!
Scripted by pulp/paperback/comic book writer William Woolfolk under the pen-name "Winston Lyons", it's a fascinating mash-up of the TV and comic versions of the Caped Crusader, Robin the Boy Wonder,  and a trio of arch-villains!
You might note that The Riddler (who was the TV Batman's premiere nemesis, isn't in the story.
That's because the book was written before the show aired, and the Prince of Puzzles had appeared in only three comics stories before 1966!
He wasn't considered a major nemesis by comics fans or creators until after the show began!
Start the adventure now by clicking HERE!
