*TV/Film Tie-Ins: Normally, we only place books in this category where they spin-off from a film or TV show rather than the other way round, but these two Batman gems are obviously so heavily derived from the iconic Batman TV show and film from 1966-1968 that we felt they belonged here. Batman Vs The Fearsome Foursome from 1967 is the novelization of the Batman ’66 film (yes, you know, the one with the shark repellant Bat-Spray), and Batman Vs The 3 Villains of Doom (Joker, Penguin and Catwoman), came a year earlier in the same format by the same author, Winston Lyon. Both have wonderful photo covers and both are UK 1sts.
