- Batman Bruce Wayne, Robin Dick Grayson, The Joker, Jim Gordon.
art by Neil Adams.
In the 1970's there was a recording company called POWER RECORDS. They made small books that contained comic book stories & came with a 45 rpm record to listen to. Basically you would listen to the story while reading the book. It sort of taught you how to read & the recording sounded a lot like the old-time radio shows because it has voice actors, music, & sound effects. They were really great! They made a ton of these with all kinds of characters like GI Joe, Six Million Dollar Man, Superman, plus many more. They even made a few of them with Batman characters ( Joker, Scarecrow, Catwoman, etc...).
Wow my mom bought this for me when I was 8 years old in the 70's
Thank you!!
Miss you mom 🥺
this scared the hell out of me growing up lol....thank you so much for this!! very cool.
Me too.
I had this book and record as a kid. I used to be in awe of the artwork, and read it constantly. Glad to see it still is holding up. Thanks for posting this.
Neil Adams is a class artist.
I just met him at the Michigan ComicCon and spoke to him for awhile. He was pretty interesting and had some criticism for how WB/DC is handling the DC Movies. I had him sign my Detective #400 (1st Man-Bat). Yes, he was a class act indeed.
One of the greats
I will never forget those bat screams OR that water dripping!!!
I had this record as a kid in the late 70s. It always scared me. I need to go buy this.
Same, and thus my fondness for DC and Marvel lore was born...
Same. Amazing to hear it again.
Totally scared me as a late 70s kid.
I had this one too.. listened to it a hundred times.
40+ yrs later and it all sounds so familiar
Oh, yes.
I got this for Christmas 1975 you officially win the internet for posting this thank you.
Wow does this take me back to my early childhood. Thanks for posting this. You are awesome!!!!
I still have this on vinyl!
I loved these old books and records.
Took me years to get them all, but this was the first one I ever got... Easter '77
Thanks for posting! I had this record as a child, and now that I'm grown up with a lifetime of love for old time radio, I know just how well-produced these adventures were.
It's great to hear and see these stories again! Thanks for bringing them back!
oh that Neal Adams art!
I also had this as a kid along with an Incredible Hulk 45, a Spiderman one and the bigger Batman record book Gorilla City. This record freaked me out though....the narration is like classic radio. Love it.
I remember I had this record back in my childhood loved Neil Adam's art but the record scared me. Good times! Thanks for uploading it
Never had this record, but I remember the Manbat episode from Batman:TAS. Thanks for sharing!
No way! I had this as a kid! This is blowing my mind! :)
This one scared the crap outta me when I was little. I couldn't handle the bat screams. I listened to it once and that was it for me. lol
Oh wow.. this sure brings back memories! This one was my favorite growing up! Classic Batman
I can't tell you the memories this brings back. I need to re-release these on album or CD
For me too. The bat screams gave me chills, both as a kid and now 30 years later.
I had the record & comic as a kid.. Wow I listened so much I broke the record & lost the comic..
This is amazing. I loved this as a kid.
Better than "Batman vs. Superman"
This art still holds up by today's standards
jeff bird Today's standards are far below the standards of this era.
I still have it on record....
As soon as I heard the clicking noises at the beginning of this story, I was taken right back to the 1970s. Wow.
I had this as a kid! It was kind of scary but it was still a great story!
Amazing job with the video BrandonHexHD! Thanks!
Considering getting this vinyl for my son.
My goodness, does this bring back memories…
I also had this as a kid. I expected it to be super - corny as a 46 year-old adult, but I see now the art was actually extremely good and the voice-acting was excellent!
Is there anything that tells you who voices the characters/credits?
That’s more plot than you get in most movies nowadays.
ah. now this is what Im talking about :D. Thanks for posting this Hex. I just loved it.
I just found a few of these comics without records. Thank you for posting these.
Hey what are we running here ? A debate ? Let's plug emmm hahahaha
I had this, but it's been lost over the years. I DO still have the one with the Joker, Stacked Cards. Love it!
i had this in 84
memories....wow
Oooowww! Let go, you beast! You’re tearing my throat!
wow Hex, thanks for giving a means not to do my term paper lol. Keep these coming
I like Batman's voice! Batman nowadays sounds like a chain smoker
Longshoreman X Unless it's Kevin Conroy ;)
Great stuff!
Robin should have used the sneezing powder on the woman again when she turned back to human.
These are great!
ugh, this shit fucked me up as a kid
Neal Adams died a couple of days ago.
Why's Manbat wearing a Dracula cape instead of a lab coat
Lit
Does anyone know who voiced Batman on this?
dessins du maitre neal adams, batman prend une nouvelle dimenssion .
thnx
It's insane that Neal Adams's amazing art was used to illustrate what was a cheap kids' throwaway record.
What do you mean? The 70s comics were still for kids, just not as campy as the last 2 decades
@@Ian-hj4yt No, not all comics in the 1970s were for kids, e.g., Warren Publishing, Skywald, Marvel black-and-white titles, "Heavy Metal" and its many copycats, plus dozens of underground titles. Try again. I can tell you've never read anything from that era.
@@julianhermanubis6800 I'm talking about Batman
@@Ian-hj4yt I'd say the better Batman titles from that era were such that an older reader could probably read them and enjoy them as well as the customary kid audience, e.g., the Neal Adams issues or the Marshall Rogers run.
@@julianhermanubis6800 That was the point. Those comics feel like a sequel to the Adam West series but with a slightly darker tone. The same old lighthearted Batman facing scarier villains without Robin.
