Batman '66 #6

Batman and Robin leap into action across a sprawling landscape of giant open books, while the unsettling, wide-eyed Bookworm — wide-brimmed hat, thick spectacles, and flashlight in hand — looms menacingly in the foreground. This February 2014 issue of Batman '66 promises new stories inspired by the classic TV series, with "The Conqueror Bookworm" taking center stage alongside a bonus tale featuring Olga, Queen of the Cossacks. Michael Allred's cover captures the show's playful, larger-than-life spirit with real flair, and with Tom Peyer writing and Ty Templeton on art, it's a fine addition to this fondly crafted series.
