...Another theme is labeled Inferiority Complex. And the tiny images that speckle these works are ciphers but also reference points dotted on the topography of his own thoughts. A cartoon imitation of a World War I biplane suggests war; corsets and garter belts spell out the paraphernalia of lust; a woman's pelvis is decorated with the design of a jet engine. "The life force," says Baruchello, "is supplied with fuel from two reservoirs-love and fear...

It started with the narrator's "put your gum under your seats," zipped through a catchy theme, and within minutes, the Caped Crusader and Robin the Boy Wonder were risking their dedicated lives in a effort to rid Gotham City of crime. Adam West stars at Batman; even lacking a size 48 chest, his portrayal is excellent. Batman's young ward is played by Burt Ward, who is everything we remember from drugstore newsstand days...
