LIFE magazine - March 11, 1966 (vol. 60, no. 10):

This popular issue, released during the early days of "Batmania" in the mid '60s, is widely sought after for its cover. 

But...the 10-page illustrated feature story (10.5 pages if you count the Editor's Note on p. 3, which tackles the same subject), is a real hoot, too, linking as it does the "lunacy" of the Batman TV show, the then concurrent and very wacky theatrical production of the kitschy Superman musical ("It's a Bird…It's a Plane…It's Superman"), and (of all things) Peter Weiss's very strange "Brechtian" Broadway drama w/music, Marat/Sade, in which the Marquis de Sade directs a play within the play while locked up in the lunatic asylum in which he spent 12 years of his life.

As Otto Preminger, Mr. Freeze himself, might have said:  "...WILD!!!"

This copy is 100% complete with all interior pages, including the fold-out poster illustrating the history of the Roman Empire (which the writing in ballpoint pen on the front cover references).  There is light foxing on the front cover; the cover itself is detached from the top staple, but firmly attached to the middle and bottom staples;  and there are a few rust spots on the top and bottom staples (middle staple is shiny!), but nothing which migrates to the interior.

All in all, a solid VG copy which presents very nicely indeed.

$50 bagged & boarded, and securely shipped & insured in the US.
