The BATMAN PINUPALOOZA finale!
—
Welcome to BATMAN PINUPALOOZA, a 60th anniversary celebration of the seven seminal 1966 Batman pinups by penciller Carmine Infantino and inker Murphy Anderson that in large measure became the definitive versions of the Dynamic Duo and their venal villains for years to come.
This is a 13th Dimension theme week unlike any we’ve done before: Each of our artists — Kerry Callen, Bill Morrison, Des Taylor, Walt Grogan (who did that fab banner), Chris Franklin, Dakota Alexander and Franco — is reimagining at least one of the pinups every day this week, with equal parts reverence, whimsy and humor.

Just imagine (or ask What If? if you prefer the comics across the street) that DC only had the money and time for Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson to produce just ONE Batman pinup in 1966? Just one pinup dropped into an issue of Batman and also to be offered via mail order? What would they have done? Maybe something like this?
With apologies and great admiration to Misters Infantino and Anderson!
