  • Batman Bruce Wayne, Robin Dick Grayson, The Joker, Jim Gordon.
    art by Neil Adams.
    In the 1970's there was a recording company called POWER RECORDS. They made small books that contained comic book stories & came with a 45 rpm record to listen to. Basically you would listen to the story while reading the book. It sort of taught you how to read & the recording sounded a lot like the old-time radio shows because it has voice actors, music, & sound effects. They were really great! They made a ton of these with all kinds of characters like GI Joe, Six Million Dollar Man, Superman, plus many more. They even made a few of them with Batman characters ( Joker, Scarecrow, Catwoman, etc...).

    I had this book and record as a kid. I used to be in awe of the artwork, and read it constantly. Glad to see it still is holding up. Thanks for posting this.

      I just met him at the Michigan ComicCon and spoke to him for awhile. He was pretty interesting and had some criticism for how WB/DC is handling the DC Movies. I had him sign my Detective #400 (1st Man-Bat). Yes, he was a class act indeed.
