*DC: What’s Old is our feature where we highlight stuff from our catalogue that you may have missed. A delight this week is one of the great Silver Age Catwoman covers on Batman #197, where she fights it out with Batgirl over Batman. A cover beautifully executed by Carmine Infantino, and glowing with the rich colours that DC seemed to do so well, from the deep purple background to the orange spotlight foreground and the vibrant colours on the costumes. It’s dynamic and full of inherent action with a clever cover title box. A lovely high grade pence stamped copy, with good cover gloss, white to off-white pages and excellent tight staples. Handling wear is minimal, with just tiny non-colour breaking creases at lower spine and a miniscule crease across the bottom right cover. A gem.
