  • Bat-Manga!: The Secret History of Batman in Japan is a 2008 book published by Pantheon Books, subsidiary of Random House, in the United States. The book was designed by Chip Kidd with the assistance of photographer Geoff Spear. It collects a Japanese shōnen manga adaptation of the American comic book series Batman by Jiro Kuwata simply entitled Batman and also includes photographs of vintage Batman toys from Japan. The Batman manga included in Bat-Manga! was created during a Batman craze in Japan, being serialized from April 1966 to May 1967, the series ended when the craze ended. The manga was released in paperback and at the same time a limited hadcover was released in October 28, 2008, with an additional manhua bootleg and an extra Batman story by the creator. The book got generally positive reviews, with Deb Aoki of About. com rating it with 4 stars. It was made an issue that Chip Kidd got all the credit for Bat-Manga! instead of Jiro Kuwata, however Chip Kidd stated that the book is about the phenomena of Batman in Japan rather than just the manga itself.
