A Note Regarding the Subterranean Blue Grotto Guides
I regret to say that both ZLONK! ZOK! ZOWIE! and BIFF! BAM! EEE-YOW! have been removed from publication by Amazon due to a claim of copyright infringement for their artwork by Warner Bros.
I apologize to everyone who had invested in the books, but truly appreciate your support and enthusiasm for them. I’m in debt to you, as well as to the incredible cast of talent, including both writers and artists, who worked on the project. I appreciate each and every one of you.
The two volumes were instrumental in my gaining a semblance of normalcy after my wife’s death, and because of that they will always hold a very special place in my heart, as does the TV series they commented upon. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into the books, and they almost didn’t get made at certain times, but once they came together, they were exactly what I envisioned, and I am so proud of what they became.
At this moment, there are no plans to alter and republish them, as well as the third volume in the series. Nor do I intend to fight a giant the size of Warner’s. If you had recently ordered the books, but see your order has been cancelled, I am very sorry. If you already have copies of either book or both, please enjoy them. They’re collector’s items now!

Sorry to hear this but I vote you alter the format. Too much love and effort was put into them to stop because of a cover photo. Just go with blue and red.

Sorry to hear it, Jim. I hope it all works out in the end.
Re: A Note Regarding the Subterranean Blue Grotto Guides
Thanks, everyone. Rolling with the situation, but my expectations for a happy resolution are pretty low at the moment.
I do greatly appreciate all the support for the books.

Hi Everyone - I’m a new board member, from the UK.
Firstly, so sorry to hear of your loss Jim, my sincere condolences.
Over the last few months I’ve been enjoying a rewatch of Season 1 and reading my Zlonk! Zok! Zowie! ebook alongside each story arc (as well as the excellent Bat Cave & To The Batpoles podcasts!)
I came to this board today to find out more and to see if there might be a Season 2 guide when I saw this news. So disappointing.
I just wanted to say thank you Jim, for all your hard work and the fantastic input from all the contributors on these two volumes. I don’t believe print copies ever made it to the UK sadly.
I hope we get to read the essays in some form some day.

Also, that's a real shame about the books. I hope you do find a way to get the essays back into print.
Take care.

I sure hope you can re-format it so we can buy and read it.
And I hope Volume 3 can still happen in some form
