It's a shame that DC has practically ruined the Marvel Family

Nice interview, but...
IT'S MAC RABOY, not "MATT GRAYBOY."

My copy of the book just arrived today. I haven't had time to go over it thoroughly, but the presentation is very nice and some of the photos just seem to pop off the page. I'm looking forward to enjoying all of it.

BAT-MANGA is one of the best things I've ever seen...

Funny how in the interview Kidd says he doesn't know why the character isn't as popular now as he it was in the 40's.
Then later realizes he was only published for 13 years.
So really only Golden age fans would know him, cause while Kidd is of the a Silver-age like myself.
Our only exposure is the T.V show,the Tabloid book, and the comic that D.C. tried to bring back in the early 70's.
Which we all know was draw at first by C.C. Beck, but written by "others" that had no real understanding of the character.
Which has ALWAYS been D.C.'s treatment of the Marvel family.
Except for Jerry Ordway's series from the 90's.

The closest things to the Marvel Family being done right are Jeff Smith's series and the Billy Batson series (which actually doesn't get Freddy right).
