Np. No binding. Fine. Hong Kong: Np, [1966]. Set of 6 vintage original 3 1/3 x 6 1/4" (9 x 18 cm) Picture Puzzles on cardboard backing. Overall fine.

Full set of mint condition, never before used "Picture Puzzles" featuring the now iconic pop art of the 1966 Batman TV show's heroes and villains. The series, starring Adam West and Burt Ward, was a campy, comedic pop culture phenomenon that aired 120 episodes (twice weekly during the first two seasons) on ABC. Known for its vibrant colors, on-screen fight words ("POW!") and celebrity cameos, it transformed the Caped Crusader into a mainstream sensation before ending after three seasons.

It sparked a massive merchandising phenomenon, generating an estimated $75 million in sales in its first year alone. The "Batmania" craze produced everything from lunchboxes and Topps trading cards to ideal toys, transforming consumer goods into an extension of the show's campy, colorful aesthetic. (Wikipedia)

The puzzles featured here are a "Fun Ideal Pastime" which allow you to "Test Your Skill" -- simply "Scramble It Then Try Putting It Together Again".
