Comic Book Resources has an exclusive interview with writer Jeff Parker about his new gig writing Batman ’66.  A digital comic that will tell untold exploits of Batman as featured in the 1966 TV show.  Of course we all know that Adam West famously portrayed the caped crusader along with Burt Ward as his “little chum” Robin for the TV series which lasted form 1966-1968.

I’ve been a fan Parker’s work for some time now and have no doubts that he will be able to do this fabled franchise justice.  Parker’s work on Agents of Atlas (Marvel Comics) shows that he has an understanding of characters emanating from the Silver Age of comic books.  With the incredible Mike Allred providing covers,I wish Allred was penciling the entire book as his pop-art inspired work is a dead-on match for the style of the show.  That is not saying that Jonathan Case will not do a good job I am jus not as familiar with his work as I am with Mike Allred’s. But, Judging form these first images being released Mr. Case seems very capable of giving us an awesome Batman book that looks like a lost Batman episode.

The book will be available only in digital format initially but is expected to collected and released in print form at a later date.  To the Batcave little chums!Photo is courtesy of CBR and DC Comics
