*DC: A large part of the Batman TV show’s popularity revolved around the appeal of its major villains- the Joker, Penguin, Riddler and Catwoman, who reappeared numerous times during the show’s run. This upturn in popularity was reflected in the comics, which featured the Crooked Quartet more often and more prominently, and just for fun, we have four high-grade Silver Age Batman issues, each starring one of the group, and each with an iconic cover by the Silver Age’s greatest artists: #169 stars the Penguin, with Carmine Infantino cover, VF- p £85; #179 features the Riddler, cover by Kane & Anderson, FN+ £54; #186 presents the Joker, cover by Murphy Anderson, VF p £70 and #197 had a double delight – not only the Catwoman, but guest heroine Batgirl, cover by Infantino, VF p £125.
