About the artists: Bob Kane's first 'ghost' artist, Jerry Robinson (1922-2011) influenced the success and mythos of the Batman in ways that cannot be over-stated. Together with writer Bill Finger, he created both Robin and The Joker- key characters and concepts that remain central to depictions of the Dark Knight, and his renderings of the Batman and supporting characters influenced generations of artists that followed him. Sheldon Moldoff (1920-2012) is the co-creator (along with Gardner Fox) of Hawkman who first took flight in All-Flash Comics #1 from January, 1940. His other credits include ghosting for Bob Kane on Batman for several years, providing the covers for some of DC?s most legendary comics (All-Flash 1, All-American 16- the first Green Lantern, the Spectre, Crime Patrol, and many more. He is one of the true legends of the Golden Age of Comics. Neal Adams (1941-2022) is the definitive Batman artist of the late 1960?s and early 1970?s and, according to Atlas? Top 100 List, he is one of the top three comic artists of all time (only Jack Kirby at #1 and Will Eisner at #2 rank higher). Having changed the look of comics forever, a generation of imitators followed in his wake, dividing comics into essentially two categories; what came before (the Jack Kirby Era) and what came after (the Neal Adams era). His first published work on Batman - as the inker - appeared on the cover of Detective Comics #370 (December, 1967) and his first pencils and inks on Batman appeared just two months later in issue #372. His first Batman cover, issue #200 which he also penciled and inked, appeared the month after that. Soon, he was doing many covers and interior stories for the Dark Knight Detective, slowly transitioning the Batman comics from the campy influence of the TV series back to his darker roots.
