Pleased to see that my book has been published! It's an academic book about Adam West's signature role in the 1960s Batman series and his subsequent career. Quite a bit of work went into this, happy that it's now out there :D www.routledge.com/Adam-West-as...

Vengeance Most Fowl was a hoot, as expected. Highlights for me include the Cape Fear reference, Anton Deck and the slow-speed boat chase. Plus pretty much anything involving Feathers McGraw, to be honest.
