Batman '66 #12

Batman and Robin are at the wheel of the Batmobile, bearing down through a swirling storm of oversized playing cards — queens of diamonds fanning out dramatically across the cover — in this August 2014 installment of DC's cheerfully retro series inspired by the classic TV show. The tagline promises "The Queen of Diamonds Holds All the Cards," hinting at a villain who's stacked the deck against Gotham's Dynamic Duo. Michael Allred's cover art captures the show's bright, pop-art energy beautifully, and with Jeff Parker writing and Dario Brizuela on interior art, issue #12 delivers exactly the kind of fun, stylish adventure the series does so well.
