There's a new collection of 1960s Batman manga edited by Chip Kidd that sounds pretty interesting:

Here's a Wired.com story with more information on this book:
http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/10 ... docum.html
The BoingBoing entry failed to mention that the 60s Batman manga was created by Jiro Kuwata, the co-creator of
8 Man, which is generally considered to be the first cyborg manga.

Didn't Kia Asamiya (Silent Möbius, Steam Detectives etc) draw some Batman stories a few years ago?
