Description: About the item: Batman '66 is the first comic book series based on the classic 1960's television series. This issue, #23 of the series, is a blank sketch cover and is signed by Adam West and Burt Ward and professionally graded by CGC. Further, it is certified as part of their special Signature Series. With Signature Series books a certified CGC witness actually observes the signing of the comic and then immediately takes possession of the book so there is no possibility of the real autograph being switched out with another. It will be shipped with the utmost care. At the next convention CGC sets up at, this book offers a great opportunity to have your favorite artist illustrate the Dynamic Duo! About the TV Series: One of the biggest phenomenons in television history, the 1960’s Batman TV series influenced an entire generation of fans and possibly even helped save the Batman comics themselves from cancellation. Debuting in 1966, it changed Batman from a reasonably successful DC comic character into a true global icon. The series also created a merchandising bonanza exceeded only by Star Wars a decade later, turned the Batmobile into the most recognized fictional car of all time (surpassing all others contenders, before or since, including such icons as KITT, the General Lee, and James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5), and forever added it’s own catch phrases into the pop-culture lexicon- such as Robin’s famous “Holy…” whatever quips and “Same Bat-Time, same Bat-Channel.” In significant ways the TV series also made lasting contributions to the comic book continuity; the creation of Batgirl – a character specifically introduced into the comics for inclusion in the Television series – and, perhaps most importantly, returning to prominence the four classic villains of the Joker, Catwoman, the Riddler, and the Penguin (all of which were shelved for years due to the impact of Fredric Wertham’s anti-comics exposé Seduction of the Innocent).
