Description:
BATMAN COLLECTED by Chip Kidd, Watson-Guptill Publications, NY, 1996.
This scarce out-of-print book features over 490 smashing color photo plates to illustrate Batman collectibles. The superb photography and rich narrative combine to make this book a collector's item in itself.
This book is the author's "tribute to the power of the Batman legend," which first appeared on the American scene in 1939. Here is "a gallery of dramatic full-color photos of the rarest Batman memorabilia accompanied by Kidd's absorbing text detailing the mysterious fascination of Batman collecting. Geoff Spear's extreme closeup photography and chiaroscuro lighting give the material an aura of dark menace, and Kidd's striking design will surprise fans, collectors and Batophiles of all ages. It's all here: from the 1940's movie posters, radio scripts and figurines to the explosion of toys and merchandise connected with the 1960's TV show to the sketches and art for the Dark Knight revival of the 1980's and the authenticity and noirish elegance of the contemporary Batman movies and animated series. Collectors will thrill to the sight of rare Japanese Batman games and windup robots, British pulp novels, Topps trading cards, Aurora models, Mego figurines and much more." This is the definitive volume for Batman collectors, a must-have for the reference library of anyone who participates in the fascinating mythology of Batman.
