Carmine Infantino cover/art; 1st app. of Poison Ivy (Pamela Lillian Isley)
The creation of Poison Ivy began with Batman team Robert Kanigher and Shelly Moldoff being inspired by a Nathaniel Hawthorne story. The florid femme fatale — immune to all toxins and able to control plants with her mind — still started out as a swinging '60s creation that would thrive for generations of classic comic-book storytelling. Her romantic entanglements with Batman are the stuff of legend, and Poison Ivy has only thrived in modern times as Harley Quinn's very close partner-in-crime. Legendary artist Carmine Infantino also had a big hand in the helming of this pop-art origin of one of comicdom's most complicated characters. This is where it all began, with fans already clamoring for Ivy to become part of the new big-screen DC Extended Universe.
A stupendous copy, this Batman #181 bears a 9.6 grade from CGC and white pages. This cover is pristine, with a beautiful flawless classic DC checkerboard banner and Batman logo. Batman and Robin scowl at each other as Poison Ivy stands between them, physically and emotionally. All three characters look so sharp on this iconic Infantino/Anderson cover. Having appeared in countless Batman comics, as well as movies, shows, videogames and other spin-off material, Poison Ivy's first appearance will always be a sought-after key issue. There are only 3 CGC-graded copies higher than this. Make your friends and enemies green with envy by owning such a beautiful book.
Overstreet Guide 2021 NM- (9.2) value = $3,800.
