Batman '66 mural in Sydney
Greetings from Australia.
In January, my local comic shop, Kings Comics in the Sydney CBD, was supposed to move to a new location. Their move was delayed due to the renovations to a heritage building, and then Covid-19 lockdowns began. This past week, they finally unveiled their new store. I knew there were specially-commissioned murals planned, but I now have pics, taken by me on their opening weekend.

This big b/w mural is based on the hardcover, "Batman: the TV Stories", comics which inspired episodes of "Batman '66": featuring the Riddler, the Joker, Mad Hatter, Mr Zero (Mr Freeze in the TV series and beyond), the Penguin, Eivol Ekdal and Carnado (Zelda in the series), and Batgirl vs Killer Moth.

That prototype Batgirl cowl with the v shapes that “poked into her cheeks” stands out like a sore thumb.

Straight from the comic story that informed her Presentation Reel, and her encounter with Killer Moth. Also the reversible handbag/cowl and skirt/cape.

I wasn't expecting to encounter another "Batman '66" mural in Sydney this month!
Here I am at one of the JB HiFi stores responding to the pandemic by temporarily downsizing:

That’s great! Digging the the yellow/black/white color scheme! They’re spoiling you, Ian!
