OK, every now & then we post a classic Batman Comic Book Cover because the art work is cool but here's one where it marks a very historical moment in Bat-History! This comic book, Batman # 171, was the very FIRST SILVER-AGE APPEARANCE of THE RIDDLER as a character! Plus, the silver-age artwork by Carmine Infantino is pretty great too! Be sure to click on the picture above for a larger, more detailed, photo. Plus, remember to check the BAT-BLOG ARCHIVES for many many more classic Batman comic book covers & art!
