About This Item
From the d.j. flap: "Growing up in New jersey in the 1950's, Batman-obsessed Michael Uslan had to come to terms with the disappointing truth that he was not a superstar. He didn't meet any of the criteria. He wasn't orphaned at a young age, He didn't possess an armory full of Batarangs, a loyal butler, or a sports car that doubled as a tank. He would never become a crime-fighting vigilante. But even without the dark past and high-tech gadgetry, Uslan accomplished something even better: He transformed a super-human passion for comic books into the career of a lifetime.
"The Boy who Loved Batman" is a coming of age story of a kid from New Jersey who used his childhood love of comics to help create the Batman franchise that we know and love today. Along the way he shares his many entertaining adventures, from teaching the first accredited college course on comics in 1972 to his days as a "Junior Woodchuck" at DC Comics and the ten years he spent fighting to get Batman produced."
Across from title page Michael Uslan SIGNED his name inside a bat drawing and INSCRIBED it "To Denise--From the Boy Who Loved Batman to the Girl Who Loved Batman".
