ComicMix’s crack legal columnist Bob Ingersoll is more than just a lawyer with a great wit, although that would be enough. For decades, Bob has been my go-to guy on the subject of television minutiae. So, it came as no surprise when he was the first to tell me and a group of our friends that Adam West died.
Yep, that sucks. Last week at this time, it would have been difficult to find a nicer guy in show business. Most of us are well aware of West’s résumé and I won’t bore you with it at this late date. Here’s the IMDb link – be sure to come back now, y’hear? But there’s one fun fact we tend to overlook.
Adam West saved the American comic book industry.

With the arrival of Wonder Woman in theaters this weekend, many are expecting the DC heroine's first major feature to be one of this summer's best.

If you thought the '60s Batman show was off the wall, just wait until you see these beauties. Apparently the great success of that show led William Dozier to see if he could recreate it with some other DC superheros. He gave Yvonne Craig, who had played Batgirl in the Batman show already, her own five minute proof of concept pilot. That one pretty much has the same vibe as the Batman show, but the Wonder Woman show - which would have been called "Who's Afraid of Diana Prince?" - was plain batshit crazy, and actually pretty funny! Have a look at these and be sure to sound off in the usual place.. And just in case you didn't know, Yvonne Craig also played the original sexy green alien chick in Star Trek: Tos..

Check out this 1967 screen test for a super campy Wonder Woman TV series starring actress Ellie Wood Walker by the same guy who created the cheesy Batman series starring Adam West!
With so much Wonder Woman shit going on right now, we thought you might enjoy this flashback of what might have been.
While we're at it, check out this 1967 pilot for a Batgirl series spinoff, which is just as cheesful and camp-laden.
