Batman '66 Meets Steed & Mrs. Peel - Ian Edington

. .

Résumé :
From writer Ian Edginton (BATMAN) and artist Matthew Dow Smith (ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN) it's the greatest intercontinental crossover of the '60s that never happened-until now: BATMAN '66 MEETS STEED AND MRS. PEEL! Batman and Robin, the Dynamic Duo of Gotham City, finally fight side by side with England's dashing spy partners, Jonathan Steed and Emma Peel from the world of the cult-classic British television show The Avengers.

When Bruce Wayne and his fetching new British business associate find themselves caught up in Catwoman's caper to steal England's White Star diamond, Batman is nowhere to be found-but in the Caped Crusader's absence, gentleman spy Jonathan Steed and his intrepid partner Mrs. Peel are good enough to stop by and trap the thief! But it turns out that Catwoman wasn't working alone.

Gotham City soon finds itself under attack by Steed and Mrs. Peel's mechanical enemies the Cybernauts-aided and abetted by Batman's aristocratic antagonist Lord Ffogg! With the White Star still in danger, the crime-fighting quartet has no choice but to rush across the pond and dive headlong into danger. But will the prowess of this transatlantic team-up be enough to save the world from an army of rampaging robots?

Biographie:
Edginton sees part of the key to his success coming from good relationships with artists, especially D'Israeli and Steve Yeowell as well as Steve Pugh and Mike Collins. He is best known for his steampunk/alternative history work (often with the artist D'Israeli) and is the co-creator of SCARLET TRACES, a sequel to their adaptation of H.G. Wells' THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. With 2000 AD he has written LEVIATHAN and STICKLEBACK with art by Steve Yeowell, THE RED SEAS, as well as one-off serials such as AMERICAN GOTHIC (2005). With D'Israeli he has created a number of new series including STICKLEBACK, a tale of a strange villain in an alternative Victorian London, and GOTHIC, which he describes as Mary Shelley's Doc Savage. With Simon Davis he recently worked on a survival horror series, STONE ISLAND, and he has also produced a comic version of the computer game HELLGATE: LONDON with Steve Pugh. He is currently working on a dinosaurs and cowboys story called SICGUN LOGIC. Also as part of TOP COW's Pilot Season he has written an ANGELUS one-shot.
