It’s BATMAN WEEK!

An 85th anniversary celebration of the Caped Crusader, with columns, features — even cartoons…

It’s been a bat’s age since we’ve done a theme week, but nothing was going to stop us from doing BATMAN WEEK to celebrate the Caped Crusader’s 85th birthday. (Detective Comics #27 was released March 30, 1939.)

Over seven days,  you can look forward to all sorts of groovy and offbeat columns, features and cartoons that pay tribute to the greatest comics character in the history of mankind.

Oh, and how about that nifty banner by Wallopin’ Walt Grogan? Dig it!

So, bookmark this post because we’ll be updating it with links as we go along.

To the Batcave!
