RIP: Adam West

As readers of a blog with a name like, Spring Road Superhero Review likely already know, Adam West the iconic Batman from the 1960s television show (as well as the voice of Batman in cartoons like Scooby Doo and Superfriends) died last night after a short battle with leukemia.


While West's Batman was definitely quirky…and done in a style that I felt I quickly “outgrew,” as a person West seems like he was truly a class-act human being. I suspect the world has lost a greater hero than it knows.

Blind Justice: a look back to childhood

As near as I can tell, sometime in July 1988 I purchased (or rather, my mom purchased for me) a couple of issues of Solo Avengers (later renamed Avengers Spotlight) featuring the only appearance of a costumed vigilante that has intrigued me ever since--Blind Justice.

For a basic rundown of the story, see this entry on Blind Justice from the Marvel wiki.

I spent, roughly, the next two years reading Solo Avengers/Avengers Spotlight and looking, in vain, for the tale of Blind Justice to be picked up and fleshed out.

Now, nearly 30 years later, the wait continues. Perhaps this is an oversight that can only be addressed through fan fic. What say you, readers, would anyone be up for submitting an origin story on this handicapable hero?
