Vintage Comic Book Ad : 1966 Batman Magic Photo Kit

Here's a picture sent to us awhile back & we totally lost it on our computer files. It's an advertisement for the BATMAN MAGIC PHOTO KIT & dates from the mid-sixties, probably 1966. The graphics are really cool & I have never seen the actual product that you would get in the mail. If anyone has a picture of that toy then please send it...we're very curious!

I had the Batman Photo kit in the younger days. It consisted of 6 negatives with scenes from various Batman stories of the day (I remember a couple of them were Batman fighting the Bouncer). Several pieces of photo paper, and a hard plastic sheath were also included. You would take the photo paper, and place a negative over it, then place both in the plastic sheath which yopu would then hold up to a light source for 5 minutes. After that, a picture would appear from the negative onto the paper. It was really neat, and I remember playing with it for hours. However it was lost somewhere in time. Sure which I would have kept up with it!

Wow Andy!!
That sounds pretty cool. Thanx for sharing your story. I wish I could see one of these & add it to my collection. It's gotta be super-rare!
