American Comics Update: The Midas Collection/Batmania: Batman #84 with classic Catwoman cover and story
*DC: Leading our Midas Collection updates this week, a copy of Batman #84, featuring a classic Catwoman cover and story. In The Sleeping Beauties of Gotham City, Selina Kyle enters a beauty contest, while Batman and Robin try in vain to prove she’s Catwoman; mystery deepens as all the contestants fall into comas. The other stories are The Valley Of The Giant Bees, where Batman experiences hallucinatory images and Ten Nights of Fear, where the Caped Crusader has horrible nightmares. Particularly strong content throughout. Cover by Win Mortimer, starring Catwoman in her classic Golden Age costume. Stories by Bill Finger and David Vern, art by Dick Sprang and Sheldon Moldoff. This is a lower graded copy, with a reasonable cover image and good colours. There are a few colour breaking creases, a long faint one down the centre, crossed by a diagonal crease across the logo. Other creases at bottom corners and across the bottom edge. Top and bottom edges are also worn. Upper spine split of around 5-6 cm; small lower spine split. Staples are attached at spine and centrefold and the page quality is a reasonable off-white to cream.
