On Marvel's side, there was an increased emphasis on characterization and the 'shared universe' concept being cemented - both of which DC gradually adopted.A three-volume omnibus of the Caped Crusader’s 1960s newspaper strip adventures–never before collected–now in a premium slipcase suitable for stately Wayne Manor.
