Captain's Library BLADE RUNNER Part 1

With the new flick Blade Runner 2049 debuting this week...

...we're re-presenting the long-lost comics adaptation that's almost as much of a masterpiece as the movie itself!

To Be Continued...TOMORROW!

So this is how we saw 2019 in 1982!

From our current perspective in 2017, the movie got some things sort of right, like a low-tech version of the Internet...and some things wrong, like interstellar travel!

Adapted by writer Archie Goodwin, pencilers Al Williamson & Carlos Garzon, and inkers Williamson, Dan Green & Ralph Reese, Marvel Super Special #22 (1982) is a mixture of storytelling elements that mostly work in print and occasionally don't.

Considering the comic creators were working off a script, some stills, and a few film clips, it's an amazing job that conveys a lot of the "feel" of the movie!

Captain's Library ADVENTURES OF JERRY LEWIS "Batman Meets Jerry" Part 3: Everybody's Doing the Kangaroo Hop!

When Last We Left Our Heroes (and Jerry Lewis)...

(BTW: Did you know Jerry was the first celeb to pop out of a window during the "Bat-Climb" sequences on the TV show?)

All you need know is that, "inspired" (and that's being generous) by the Batman tv series, Jerry and his nephew, Renfrew become RatMan and Rotten.
Meanwhile, a petty criminal, also "inspired" by the show, becomes The Kangaroo...perhaps the most inept costumed criminal in history...

Didn't expect real Batman villians to show up, did you?

The text feature (probably written by Arnold Drake) also talked about Bat-Mania...

Well, that wraps up our "Jerry Lewis meets DC" blogathon.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Captain's Library ADVENTURES OF JERRY LEWIS "Batman Meets Jerry" Part 2: RatMan Joins Batman

We Have Already Seen...

(Actually, we haven't seen this because the Carmine Infantino/Bob Oksner cover has nothing to do with the story!)

"Inspired" by the Batman tv series, Jerry's nephew, Refrew demands they become "RatMan and Rotten: the Boy Blunder"!

Also "inspired" by the tv show, a petty criminal and his son become "The Kangaroo and Gregory" and kidnap Renfrew, believing him to be a rich guy's son.

RatMan fails to stop them and has to be rescued by the Dynamic Duo...

Well, they addressed the "does everyone who watches the Batman tv series in this universe know Bruce Wayne is Batman?" matter!

Note: Batman drives the 1950s Batmobile, which the "New Look" Batman (with the yellow oval around his Bat-Symbol) never used!

Be Here Tomorrow for the Astounding Conclusion!

Captain's Library ADVENTURES OF JERRY LEWIS "Batman Meets Jerry"

Heck, I'm not even gonna try to do an intro...

...because this never-reprinted tale is just too weird to explain...

As you might have guessed, this issue takes place during the heyday of the Batman tv series, but the concept here is that the show is just a tv show within DC's Earth-One universe!

Adventures of Jerry Lewis #97 (1966) writer Arnold Drake and artist Bob Oksner make the most of the situation, playing up the idea that the "real" Dynamic Duo have to go around undoing the harm hero-worshipping Bat-fans inadvertantly do!

Of course, it ignores the fact that the tv series shows Bruce Wayne as Batman...

Will RatMan rescue Renfrew?

Will Batman and Robin have to rescue RatMan?

Be Here Tomorrow as Bat-Mania..gets more maniacal!
