Here's another 'errant' part of my childhood recently returned to the fold. I managed to pick it up on eBay for a mere couple of quid and can now place it alongside #2, which I re-acquired 32 years ago from a shop in Gosport to replace the one I had as a youngster. At this rate, I'll need to live for another couple of hundred years or so to have any hope of completing the set.
Should you be interested in reading my reminiscence of when I first owned these collectable little BATMAN books back in the '60s, click here.

Was a big Batman fan in the 60s. Came across these books in 1969 when they obviously had been sitting unmolested for a few years in a rather hap hazard type of newsagents shop. My parents had just split up and my Uncle Raymond offered to buy me one as a bit of a cheer me up. I couldnt make my mind up as to which one to choose. Uncle Raymond bought me all five that we're on offer. A real act of kindness from a nice bloke. I only tell this story to illustrate that a small kind gesture can etch a happy memory for a life time. Uncle Raymond passed away with cancer earlier this year. RIP Raymond.
Ken.
Here's to your Uncle Raymond, Ken - for being one of life's good guys.
