Moldoff cover/art; 1st SA Penguin; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)The Moldoff design on this comic's cover is a real feast for the eyes, as the Penguin attacks the Dynamic Duo with a giant dragon contraption. It was covers like this one that kept Batman's sales up during the onset of the Marvel Age. Loyal readers stuck with DC's iconic heroes through thick and thin, and this issue is a particular fave of Dark Knight devotees, and for good reason!
This beautiful NM copy presents deep blacks and shiny gold tones, with a powdery blue background and a tight spine, only one copy of this book registers higher on the census.
