Description
Batman #181 is a landmark Silver Age DC Comics issue published in June 1966 and is best known for featuring the first appearance of Poison Ivy, one of Batman’s most enduring and popular adversaries. This highly sought-after key issue introduced Dr. Pamela Isley to comic readers, marking the debut of a character who would become a central figure in Gotham City’s rogues gallery for decades to come.
The memorable cover artwork highlights tension between Batman and Robin as the Dynamic Duo find themselves at odds, with Poison Ivy positioned at the centre of the conflict. The issue also advertises a special double-page Batman and Robin pin-up, adding further appeal for collectors of classic DC material.
This vintage UK price variant copy shows visible signs of age and wear consistent with a well-read Silver Age comic, including cover creasing, edge wear and surface marks, all of which are reflected in its collectible value. Despite its condition, the significance of Poison Ivy’s first appearance ensures that Batman #181 remains one of the most desirable Batman keys of the 1960s and an important addition to any serious DC Comics or Batman collection.
