When Last We Left our Horny Heroines and Hapless Hero...
Batman's somewhat-silly plan to make the crafty CopperHead believe he was leaving a near-priceless artifact unguarded due to being distracted by Wonder Woman and Batgirl fighting over his affections has backfired spectacularly as both super-heroines are now totally-enamored of the Caped Crusader and the villain has made off with his prize!
I'd like to believe that writer Bob Haney was given the concept by editor Murray Boltanoff, not that Haney himself came up with the plot.
Note: editor Boltanoff was not a "continuity cop".
Many of the characters appearing in his books acted out of character from time to time!
This was artist Bob Brown's first time drawing Batman, obviously impressing artist-turned Editorial Director Carmine Infantino enough to move him over to the Batman and Robin strip in Detective Comics when the Bob Kane Studio's contract ended in early 1968!
BTW, Brown was the illustrator of the Detective Comics story that revamped Batman from campy tv-era Bright Knight back to the original concept of nocturnal Dark Knight as shown HERE!
Brown stayed on the title until he left DC in 1973, going to Marvel, where he ended up on Daredevil and the Black Widow a few months after the tale we told last week was published!
Ironically, Brown also illustrated one part of the two-issue introduction of Marvel's villainous CopperHead during this run, thereby being one of only three artists to create same-named (but not same-powered) villains at both DC and Marvel!
