    So why is this a 1.0? What do the grader’s notes say?

    Damn, you’re old. I was only 7 in the summer of ‘66 and I was still a year away from purchasing my first Marvel comic.

    I’ll put it at the top of my want list.

    Hmmm...interesting. I have never noticed that.

    It is indeed a fairly silly story.

    For some strange reason Detective wasn’t sold in Winnipeg in the mid to late 60s so I had to subscribe when I was eight years old. My sub began with issue 364 and was supposed to expire with issue 375. I was overjoyed when the mailman delivered four bonus issues up to 379. Almost all of my childhood collection went missing but my subscription Detectives thankfully survived.

    These two don’t fit my definition of silver Bats but anyway...

    I should get this one regraded.

    Mort Weisinger took over editorial duties with Superman 122 and Action 241. The titles then introduced the Fortress of Solitude, the bottle city of Kandor, Supergirl, Brainiac, etc.

    Well, it appears that Denny and I agree on this. While the silver age in general is acknowledged to have begun in 1956 with the debut of the Flash, Superman’s silver age began in 1958, GL in 59, Hawkman and the Atom later still. Maybe 1964 isn’t ridiculously late for Batman because there are no other logical mileposts.

    There definitely should be a silver age Batman thread but where would it start? In my mind it would begin with the new look in Bats 164, Tec 327 and WF 142 but that’s already 1964 which is awfully late. The old look just screams golden age to me.
