American Update: Slab Happy Meets Batmania! Batman #222 – Batman and Robin Meet The Beatles (ish…)
*DC: Our regular Batmania feature ties into our Slab Happy third-party graded event this week. 1970’s Batman #222 tapped into a then-recent real-life rumour that Paul McCartney, of the iconic Beatles, had been killed and replaced by a lookalike to keep the royalties coming. In this issue, Batman & Robin meet ‘Saul Cartwright’ of the super-group ‘The Oliver Twists’, who present a suspiciously similar dilemma to the world! How does it all turn out? Well, you’ll never know, will you – because this copy’s sealed in a plastic slab for your comfort and convenience! This is a CBCS 7.0 FN/VF equivalent, and this slice of psychedelic-era nostalgia can be yours for £150. (PS: ‘Saul’ turns out to be the real deal, but started the rumour himself to divert attention from the fact that the other three ‘Twists’ are literal ‘dead ringers’. There. Don’t say we never do anything for you.) SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
