🦇 1966 Batman Newspaper Strip Lot – 63 Clippings – Penguin & Jolly Roger Pirate Story Arc – Sept-Dec

Up for sale is a spectacular curated lot of 63 vintage The Batman newspaper comic strip clippings from the absolute peak of 1960s Batmania. Sourced from The Scranton Tribune / The Scrantonian, these original printings span from September 26, 1966 through December 1966.

This lot is highly desirable because it captures the setup and continuation of a classic Silver Age Batman storyline that mirrors the campy, fun energy of the 1966 Adam West TV show.

Highlights:

📰 63 Original Newspaper Clippings: Vintage Batman comic strip clippings from The Scranton Tribune / The Scrantonian

🐧 Penguin Prelude: Features The Penguin in the setup strips

🦇 Batman & Robin: Dynamic Duo featured throughout the arc

📅 Peak Batmania Era: Original 1966 printings spanning Sept. 26 through Dec. 1966

🎨 Silver Age Creative History: Associated with Whitney Ellsworth, Sheldon Moldoff, Carmine Infantino, and Joe Giella

Storylines Included:

🐧 “Penguin the Complainant” – Sept. 26 to Oct. 8, 1966

The Penguin appears in a humorous prelude where he demands that Batman and the Gotham City Police track down a rogue thief who stole his “rightfully stolen loot.”

The story continues into the colorful pirate adventure arc, introducing the modern-day nautical villain Jolly Roger as Batman and Robin follow clues, investigate Gotham’s waters, and face dramatic Silver Age cliffhangers.

Each strip carries the printed Bob Kane name/signature associated with the Batman newspaper strip. Comic historians and DC collectors will appreciate the Silver Age “ghost team” history, with stories attributed to longtime DC editor Whitney Ellsworth and artwork associated with legendary DC artists including Sheldon Moldoff, Carmine Infantino, and Joe Giella.
