A Curious Compilation of Bumbling Baddies: Episodes 1-6 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781957863283)

THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN.

In each episode of this six-set series, you visit Echo City, the city that never sleeps but takes a nap every once in a while. You will meet the Echo City regulars and of course, the hero of our adventures, Nightbat. As no hero can truly show off his or her stuff without a villain who challenges them, each story features a unique Echo City bumbling baddy.

These slapstick-y guys and gals don't ever get their dastardly crime right, forever tripping over themselves; silly men and women who do their very best to mess up their plans at the very last minute, just as Nightbat himself stumbles on the scene to catch them and save the day.

If you are of an age to remember the Batman '66 TV show-- or know of Looney Tunes cartoons or Buster Keaton movies or even Peter Seller's iconic Inspector Jacques Clouseau-- you will recognize familiar elements, wordplay, and sight gags along the way.The bad guys (who aren't really all that bad) always get their due, even though nobody's ever quite so sure how that due gets done.
