*DC: A lovely selection of vintage Batman issues from 1953 & 1954. Issue #79 features the greatest menace ever to Batman’s career, as intrepid photographer Vicki Vale drags him to the altar in “The Bride of Batman!”, plus “Batman – Gang Boss!” and “The Batman of Yesterday!” This is a lovely bright copy which would grade higher except for a vertical cover crease. GD at £75. Issue #80 features the Batman’s greatest enemy in “The Joker’s Movie Crimes!”, plus “Dick Grayson’s Nightmare!” and the cover-featured “Machines of Menace!”. This is FA/GD, with some erosion at bottom right cover edge, at £65. Finally, issue # 82 brings us “The Flying Batman!”, plus “The Man Who Could Change Fingerprints!” and “The Olympic Games of Crime!”. Sound and tight copy, with the only significant defect being a small tear mid-right edge, which penetrates the entire book at margin but does not detract from the stories. GD+ at £85. All three issues have Win Mortimer covers and some interior art (at least two stories per issue) by the innovative Dick Sprang.
