*DC: An obscure two-time villain in the Golden Age, Edward Nygma, the Riddler, was unexpectedly selected by the producers of the 1960s Batman TV show to be a prominent member of Adam West’s Rogue’s Gallery, and accordingly DC Comics rushed him back onto the contemporary playing field with Batman #171, the character’s third ever appearance. From there, of course, the Riddler became a mainstay of the Gotham landscape, in the comics, in the movies (as – ahem – memorably incarnated by Jim Carrey), and of course in the current hit Gotham TV series, where’s he’s a major player. This ‘revival’ issue is an attractive FN- pence copy, with vivid cover colour, light spine wear and a tiny chip/scuff at the lower right cover edge, but generally a superior example of a highly sought-after issue. On sale at £125.
