Batman Collection: Neal Adams #1
This German-language collection gathers the early Batman stories illustrated by legendary artist Neal Adams, originally published in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It features landmark issues that redefined the Dark Knight's visual style and tone, including collaborations with writer Dennis O'Neil. The volume also includes appearances by key DC characters such as Superman, Deadman, and the Spectre, showcasing Adams' dynamic work across the Batman mythos.
In "Die Superman-Batman-Rachekommandos!", Bruce Wayne takes in Lance Bruner, the son of a friend his father once promised to care for, setting off a tense dynamic with the Titans and the ever-watchful Batman. When Lance discovers Bruce and Dick’s secret identities, he’s quick to test the limits of their patience—though not everyone sees the situation as a game. With Neal Adams handling writing, art, inks, and colors, this 2008 collection reprints a classic tale of trust, identity, and the weight of legacy, all rendered in Adams’ unmistakable, dynamic style. The cover, also by Adams, captures the story’s sharp, dramatic tone.
In "Die Superman-Batman-Rachekommandos!", Superman and Jimmy Olsen team up with Batman and Robin for their annual rivalry showdown, pitting their crime-fighting skills against each other in a series of high-stakes challenges. But beneath the friendly competition, hidden agendas stir as each hero’s personal squad works in secret to undermine their partner—turning the event into a test of loyalty as much as strength.
In "Der Superman-Batman-Krieg!", a dying actor’s desperate performance spins a web of deception, convincing Superman and Batman that they’re caught in a cosmic war between alien foes. But as the ruse unravels, the truth exposes a deeper game—one that even the heroes’ closest allies can’t see through.
In "Bestrafe nicht meinen bösen Sohn!", Bruce Wayne takes on the responsibility of mentoring Lance Bruner, a troubled teenager bound to him by a promise his father once made. As Dick and the Titans try to guide Lance toward change, his rebellious nature only deepens—especially after he discovers Bruce and Dick’s secret identities, and begins to see how he might use that knowledge to his advantage.
