American Update: Batmania continues: Batman #200 – Special Anniversary Issue
*DC: DC had traditionally had a regrettable habit of letting Anniversary issues slip by unnoticed, but by 1968, they’d wised up a little, and decided to make a bit of a thing out of Batman’s 200th number. Behind a special cover by then hot new artist Neal Adams, the book-length ‘The Man Who Radiated Fear!’ pitted the Dynamic Duo against the sinister Scarecrow – with guest villains the Joker, Penguin, and Killer Moth – in a story which recapped the origins of the Dynamic Duo but still gave regular readers plenty of action and adventure for their money – and a couple of reprint special features to boot! This copy of Batman #200 is a glossy and bright VF, the white cover background surprisingly unmarred, though there is a pence stamp unobtrusively in the upper right cover corner. VF p £70. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
