Kind of a bummer of a weekend. Another of my childhood heroes has passed away.
Adam West passed away this weekend at the very young age of 88. To me and millions of other Baby Boomers, Mr. West WAS Batman. Perhaps not the Dark Knight Detective of earlier and later eras but a Bright Knight who brought laughter to our lives.
While I quickly saw through the humor of the Batman television program, it was one of my earliest entries into comic books. Years later, I (like many others) wanted to see Batman brought to life in a more serious manner. It took time, but it happened.
Still, the television show holds a special place in my heart! My thoughts and prayers go out to Adam West's family and friends in their time of loss.
Rest in Peace, Mr. West!
