DC Comics is publishing a new book called Bat-Manga, with Jirou Kuwata's 1966 Batman manga (originally published in Shonen King Magazine)!

Kuwata is my favorite manga artist (highly underappreciated in the US), so I'm going totally wild over this news!

Pretty interesting, is this manga based off the live-action series?

Yes it is (it was done to capitalize on the series' run in Japan), only it also uses villains from the comic that were not in the series, like Clayface!
