When BATMANIA Turned JAPANESE

ZOWIE WEDNESDAYS!

Welcome to ZOWIE WEDNESDAYS — in which we’re serializing across 13 weeks Mark Voger’s new book Zowie! from publisher TwoMorrowsClick here for a ton more on this feature — and info on the book itself, a brightly colored history of “the TV Superhero Craze in ’60s Pop Culture.” You can also find there links to previous installments. Right on! — Dan

I might as well tell you this now: We’re gonna be putting 13th Dimension on an unprecedented two-week pause later this month because my family and I are going to Japan!

Since I cannot get enough of Japanese culture right now, it only seemed appropriate that we highlight Mark’s brief foray into Batmania in the Land of the Rising Sun.

(And what should you do with those two weeks? Read comics — and read Mark’s book!)

Dig it.

Zowie! by Mark Voger, is a 192-page, full-color hardcover that lists for $43.95. It is scheduled to be released July 31 and will be available through booksellers and comics shops. You can also pre-order it directly from TwoMorrows. Click here.
