Or really 6/66 revisited, since I don't have any books from April 1944
Number four on my 'thou shall not purge' list needs no introduction.
It is considered one of the key books in the go-go check run.
For your viewing pleasure, I offer you the first appearance of Poison Ivy.
Batman 181, CGC 9.2 off-white with an issue date of June 1966.
This book is far more readily available than #6, OAAW 168 from the same month simply because it is a Bat title. Nonetheless, excellent copies are often buried in collections and fewer see the light of day than you would expect.
One thing that I enjoy about this cover is Poison Ivy's shadow. It feels to me as if it is a direct homage to Peter Pan, although I have had other artists disagree with me.
Until next time,
Happy Hunting!
