Did the first-ever manga version of Batman, the DC comic-book
superhero, long before artists such as Katsuhiro Ôtomo and Michitaka Kikuchi did their
versions for DC. Kuwata's version was adapted from the _"Batman" (1966/II)_ TV
series, and was first published in the June 1966 issue of the kids'
comic-magazine, "Shônen King."
