Neal Adams cover; 1st app Talia Al Ghul (daughter of Ra's al Ghul)
This impressive Neal Adams cover sets up one of DC's biggest keys of the Bronze Age, featuring the first appearance of Talia Al Ghul--daughter of Batman mysterious nemesis Ra’s Al Ghul. The character would later become a proper pop-culture figure after Marion Cotillard's big-screen portrayal of the villainess in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. In the comics, Talia would become an on-again, off-again love interest for Bruce Wayne/Batman, as well as a fearsome and deadly adversary. The character would ultimately appear in over 500 different comic books while earning the #42 spot on IGN’s Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All-Time list. She remains an enduring fan favorite, with her debut a vital key issue for Batman collectors.
