At About.com, Deb Aoki talks with Chip Kidd and Saul Ferris, authors of the upcoming Bat-Manga! The Secret History of Batman in Japan. Due in October from Pantheon, the book collects Jiro Kuwata’s 1966-67 stories from Shonen King, which were spurred by the popularity of the Batman TV show.
There’s also a small gallery of artwork.
