The Feminist Movement got a healthy shot in the arm when Yvonne Craig donned a set of tights to portray Batgirl in a September 1967 episode of the Batman TV show. Earlier that year the Batgirl/Barbara Gordon character was fleshed out in print with a front cover and origin story appearance in this 1/67 DC Detective Comics #359 issue. This long-secluded example has been jealously guarded by the original owner since he purchased it as a lad in 1967, and now it can be yours. All you have to do is post the highest "Bat-Bid" for this CGC-graded example, rated (2.5, Cream to Off-White Pages). Actor Craig was a real life advocate for equal pay for women and other causes, and a true blessing for fans of the Batman show who added a strong female presence to the hit series during its third season. Label notes are "Gardner Fox and John Broome stories, Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson, cover and art. Origin and 1st appearance of Batgirl (Barbara Gordon). Killer Moth appearance."

Opening Bid $150.
