Re: BATMAN SEASON FOUR Fantasy Print 13x19 LIMITED EDITION N

The replacing of Madge Blake with Reta Shaw reminds me of My Three Sons bringing William Frawley onboard when William Demerest passed away. Other way around... Demarest replaced Frawley. Frawley died a little over a year after he left MY THREE SONS. He was dismissed because the producers were unabl...

Re: From Riddler to Clay face

I seem to recall that Clayface wasn't in the '66 series as the character was thought too scary for small kids but I might be mistaken on that... That was the disfigured Two-Face , who was absent from the comics since the introduction of the Comics Code Authority in 1954, until his reintroduction by...
