BONUS REVIEW by John Schaefer
Holy Back to Back Issues, Caped Crusaders! Blue Water surprises us with a double release of our #1 real life hero. Fan-favorate Adam West is young, happening, and smack-dab in the middle of adventure. And we are finally given some explaination of what has happened to our Mr. West. The amulet that Adam recieved is magical in nature but it has done more than bring back Adam's vim and vigor. Adam (I may call you Adam, mayn't I) is now trapped in a fantasy world of his own creation!
Whether a super spy or a cowboy, Adam West is still Adam West and that is the great joy of this book. Writer Reed Lackey writes this book like a ode to the man who brought his acting talents to us in such movies Hooper, The Happy Hooker Goes To Hollywood (that scene in the dark with Richard Deacon) , and Robinson Caroso on Mars (No I didn't forget Batman:The Movie but does it really even need to be said?!). The best part of this book in the underlying message of the story. Which is that a man does not to give up his decency to live in todays world. Whether it be Adam West telling his agent that the hero in the script isn't very heroic or the fantasy world Adam West tricking a corrupt senator into giving his plan away, Adam West shows that one doesn't have to lower himself to the standards of those around him to survive. I don't know the real Adam West (Adam, call me...we can do lunch, really!) but after countless movie roles and interviews, I tend to believe that Lackey is portraying West as he truely is. I'm not saying he's squeeky clean, but he's a man of good values and character.
