American Update: Batmania/DC Debuts: 1st Silver Age Catwoman in Lois Lane #70
*DC: In 1966, with Batmania sweeping America, the Batman TV show was in full swing and it seemed you couldn’t pick up a DC comic without Batman being involved. Even here, in Lois Lane #70, the Caped Crusader and Robin make an appearance, but the show is stolen by one of his most famous foes, Catwoman, making her first entrance into the Silver Age of Comics. For good measure there’s also the Penguin and plenty of Superman too (natch!) in this book-length tale of villainy, crime, magic and impersonation. All beautifully rendered at the hands of Kurt Schaffenberger, who knew how to tell a story! A lower graded pence stamped copy, retaining good cover colour and gloss, but a bit grubby with blunt corners, a very small upper spine split and some colour-breaking creases to the right edge. Staples and pages are okay. Someone has biro’d in three of the white squares in the DC Checker heading.
