EXCLUSIVE Preview: BATMAN ANNUAL #1 — Featuring NEAL ADAMS

Adams revisits his Batman Christmas Eve classic …

Every Christmas Eve we run a tribute to one of Neal Adams’ first solo Batman stories — The Silent Night of the Batman, a gentle tale written by Mike Friedrich, from Batman #219, which hit stands late in 1969.

So, how cool is that Adams returns to the Darknight Detective this week (11/30) with the sequel, The Not So Silent Night of the Harley Quinn, written by Harley creator Paul Dini in the Batman Annual #1 anthology.

Observe:

Fantastic.

Interesting too that, like the original, the cover gives no hint of this particular story inside:

Ah, tradition.

Meanwhile, if you haven’t, check out 13 DAYS OF THE NEAL ADAMS GALLERY, our daily tour of Adams’ new permanent, public exhibit in Midtown Manhattan. Click here. It’s a must-see for fans of Adams, Batman and comics history.
