Mike Allred, Batman '66 Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel, #5 Cover

I’ve expressed my appreciation for the great Mike Allred with other listings. His style is lively, clear, clean and “retro” — absolutely perfect for some great covers on DC’s Batman 66 publishing program.

Batman ’66 seems to have now gone the way of all defunct universes, but before they wrapped up creating new content, they created quite a few fun crossovers with other similarly adventourous 60s TV shows, including The Green Hornet, Man From U.N.C.L.E., and the British TV favorite “The Avengers.”

DC couldn’t call them that of course, so its Batman ’66 meets Steed and Mrs. Peel.

Whatever you want to call them, a full cover Adam West Batman and cast hypnotically doing the Batusi seems like a great addition to a collection.

The Batusi? Well, in 1966, you just had to be there I guess.

(Oddly, on the day this piece posted on my blog, we learned that Mrs. Peel herself --- Diana Rigg --- had passed on. Godspeed.)
