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.
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 comic!
