The decade of hula hoops, sock hops, UFO's, drive-in movies, atomic paranoia, and Gotham City's greatest hero - Batman! In the 1950s, The Caped Crusader went boldly where no other Batman had gone before. With the success of new technologies, and American children looking up towards the limitless possibilities of space, science-fiction entertainment was the talk of the times. As a result, the World's Greatest Detective was destined for newer and wackier adventures than ever before, fighting giant robots, kooky aliens and talking apes, to name just a few. And while it may have left the Dynamic Duo's heads spinning, it was ten years of unparalleled fun for kids of all ages. The sixteen tales collected here exemplify this light-hearted time of sci-fi crime-fighting. So join Batman, Robin, Batwoman, Bat-Mite, and Ace the Bat-Hound as we travel back to Batman in the Fifties!6½x10, 192 pages, full color, softcover, ....$19.95
