In the late 1960's and early 1970's, DC Comics were know for its war and western titles, as well as for its Superheroes. Sgt Rock, The Unknown Soldiers,Haunted Tank, The Losers Jonah Hex, and Bat Lash shared space with Superman, Batman and the Justice LeagueMany liked the stories of Bat Lash. You must remember at that time, stories of a character was usually an issue, rather than multi part story arcs as they have today.Lash was written by Denny O'Neal and Sergio Aragones (of Mad and Groo--Life Of Groois a great title in the series). The art was done by Nick Cardy. He appeared in and out of the 60's and 70's. He had his own book for a few issues, then was back up stories in the 1970's and 1980's. However his origin was never told...Until nowGuns and Roses is the story of a young coming of age Bat Lash. This updating of the legend is akin to a comic book Batman Begins (Widescreen Edition).Aragones cowrites this new version of Bat Lashwith Peter Brandvold. Taking over for Nick Cardy is John Severin, who finds a mix between his and Cardy art style.The storytelling is crisp and does not seem to be a reworking of old Lash stories. It brings a new slant to this age old comic series. It also updates this series in such a way to leave the door open for more.Get this now and enjoy this! Then wait until June 2009, when DC represents the classic Bat Lash stories in a showcase edition.Bennet Pomerantz AUDIOWORLD
