Trading Cards Complete Set of 55 (Topps, 1966) + plus two neon-colored 8" x 4" Batman bumper stickers,The 55-card checklist includes painted artwork from Norman Saunders, a hobby icon who also painted several other trading card sets including 1962 Topps Mars Attacks. Saunders is also known for his detailed work in pulp magazines, book covers and commercial ads. Much of the set sees Batman and Robin fighting some of the franchise's most notorious villains, like the Joker, Catwoman, the Riddler and Penguin. The images do a good job of showing lots of action, not to mention interesting gadgets.
The orange card backs have an extensive write-up. The right side of the card shows Batman running forward, similar to what's shown in the animated opening credits of the TV show. The top left corner has a Batman logo with the number.
1966 Topps Batman Black Bat gets its name from logo on the front that has the card's caption. Several of the Topps Batman sets have similar designs and can be tricky to tell apart at first glance. That is why many refer to the different colored logos. Includes a complete 55-card set of the first Topps 1966 Batman trading card set (the so-called "Black Bat" set), plus two neon-colored 8" x 4" Batman bumper stickers, #7 "Made by Batman (and Others)" and #8 "Support Your Local Batman."
