In every Look Back, we examine a comic book issue from 10/25/50/75 years ago (plus a wild card every month with a fifth week in it). This time around, we head back to August 1948 to see Vicki Vale, Batman’s answer to Lois Lane, make her comic book debut.As I’ve said many times over the years, to the point where I get that I’m a broken record on this topic (but, well, come on, man, it’s an important topic), is that the comic book industry, just like TV and films, is very often a monkey-see-monkey-do setup, so when one thing works out, there will be countless imitators. And honestly, that’s cool, as very often, it’s the implementation of the idea that really is the most important thing than the basic idea itself. How many great riffs on Superman have there been over the years? MANY, right? Stephen Sondheim’s Follies is an excellent music, it doesn’t matter that the songs for the shows were all pastiches of different composer’ styles.
