The Bookworm Renaissance Continues With ‘Batman ’66’ Chapter 47 [Preview]

My friends, we are living in a wonderful time. Hot on the heels of Gotham Academy #2, which featured the return of Bookworm as a school librarian, comes Batman '66 Chapter 47, where the world's most sinister bibliophile is once again in the spotlight! And, just as an added bonus, he's also riding around in a giant robot dragon, which I think you will agree makes pretty much everything better.

Okay, admittedly, the main focus of the issue seems to be that King Tut (possibly the greatest of all Batman televillains) is raising an army of the undead with the help of the unstoppable Osiris Virus, but c'mon. It's a giant robot dragon and it's wearing a top hat. Check out what else Jeff Parker and Scott Kowalchuk have in store for the caped crusaders below!

(In the interest of full disclosure, I've worked with Kowalchuk before on a creator-owned graphic novel.)

Batman '66 Chapter 47 will be available this Wednesday on Comixology for $1.99, kicking off a new story arc.
