West: 'Mis-Adventures is tongue-in-cheek'

Adam West has discussed his first experience of comic book writing.

The legendary Batman actor is co-writing Bluewater Productions' The Mis-Adventures of Adam West alongside scribe Reed Lackey and artist Russell Dauterman.

The fictionalised life of West casts him as a mystery-solving action hero.

"I told them that it has to be a little tongue-in-cheek, it has to have some fun because in a way, it's just showing a side of Adam West," he told Comic Book Resources.

"It's another acting job in a sense, because it's just me playing a character, which is based on me. But as you know, I'm not usually slamming people's heads into metal objects and things in real life.

"I don't want to give too much away... What this whole thing with Batman has become for me is an opportunity to be creative in so many directions."

The Mis-Adventures of Adam West will debut in July.
