Adam West will forever be a "BATS" to remember, not soon to forget, and timely as ever!
Without Faith it is impossible to please, so if you can't please everyone, well, please the one above that calls for the spirit of Truth to move in hearts toward a justice, which is sometimes "just us" but made possible. It isn't always a Dark Knight but is also a whimsical intelligence that encourages those of any city or village to take heart and overcome the world. It is as it comes that none are able to vehemently oppose all the time at every possible second in actions, but there are those in existence that do hate evil, and that calls for a Batman and by some way a Robin.
The courage of a student to surpass the teacher, as the law is a hard taskmaster to where none can stand, save justice in mercy by way of one like Batman in DC who has kept his scruples unto morals and takes action to save rather than destroy.

1st appearance of Poison Ivy. (Pamela Lillian Isley). Pin-up by Infantino and Anderson. Robert Kanigher and Gardner Fox stories. Moldoff, Giella and Greene art. Carmine Infantino, Murphy Anderson cover. An over and under kind of weed but by the blessings that speak for themselves. The growing, and inner onion wrapping of Ivy. She burst the storm through the rain to water herself and make her known attributes and ways of self-talk be a help to those who would hear, namely plants. "Can I water your plants!?" Classic Herlihy Boy SNL Skit. Very hot this winter in Texas, even people mowing, but don't Sit yet? No poison to be found. Batman and understudy Robin find themselves in a flight of fancy when they come upon the female and cohorts, but the infatuation of the graces afforded stop the implementation of yet another betrayal. That speaks the moderations and meditations by which the justice and courage of flame, student and teacher, father and mother as son or daughter desire the trust falls battle the wits! It isn't bewitching, it is loving powder form the Ivy!
Complete with a back cover picture of everyone's victory by freedom's liberties ringing in this circa 2026 New Year. That was my dad and friend Amelia's copyrighted greeting card, they kept it up for a while, called "Nail Mail." I'm not sure of its current legal status but it has been their witnessing tool, as these were reissued military cards that she had received from her family members while in the war. Originally called V-mail and stood for "Victory Mail" that had to pass the test to get across overseas. Quite a small bit of history but remarkable how important the servicing of mail is and was and especially when considering how dear to the heart and good for the soul when important.
Grader Notes:
medium tear with crease left bottom of spine;
multiple tear full left of cover;
moderate color lift front cover;
heavy wear cover;
heavy crease cover.

2nd Poison Ivy. DOUBLE COVER: Outer 4.0 Inner 7.0 Label 7.0. A Half Price Books find that I had a coupon for, it came back higher grade than expected and Universal Blue Label to BOOT! Another where the stars align, and I end up with a double cover of the 2nd appearance of IVY! I believe this cover shows the simplicity of Batman and the current humor of the times. I would definitely have bought this off the stands back then. It is interesting to see the Boy Wonder being serious and he is the KID! Batman, get off your duff! It also takes days of relaxation, if the criminals indeed ever take a day off in Gotham. Gotham is a city based off New York; I'd assume, seemingly parodied throughout the DC/Marvel universes, and can let others take aim at a city that never sleeps in their writing. Keeping it piggy backed off of the reality, sometimes the fiction seems more relatable.
 Poison Ivy as a newcomer will be in good company, as Batgirl was getting situated at the time too, and Catwoman was always ready for new hijinks.
Complete with a back cover picture of what this cover also reminds me of the most, the Batman movie starring Adam West and Burt Ward as Batman and Robin! Brought over from television, as well, and the TV show version started the same year as this issue!
