On the inside front jacket cover of this book, Poison Ivy is mentioned in a single panel dated “12/24”, from the strip printed in full on page 106. Her first appearance in a comic strip was December 10, 1966, on page 102 in the last panel of the previous storyline, as a preview to upcoming adventures. Her story appears on pages 103-142 (the panel atop page 140 is especially good). The storyline is explained on page 270, as The Sizzling Saga of Poison Ivy, December 12, 1966 – March 17, 1967. The cover of Batman, Volume 1, #181 is also reprinted there. When Poison Ivy, masquerading as an innocent young woman, meets Batman, she introduces herself as Laurel Lee (a side panel narrative tells us her real name is Ivy Smith; see January 20, 1967, on page 118). The storyline reveals her accomplices, three beautiful women called the Ivy Leaguers: Veronica Vassar, Nancy Radcliffe, and Betsy Barnard. She also has a rough-looking henchman named Blue-Jaw McGook and a handful of paid unnamed male thugs. Batman seems to be under Poison Ivy’s spell, which worries . The duo attend a swanky party at the newly opened Batman Hilton Hotel. When the lights suddenly go out, the girls steal jewelry from the guests and flee, Batman and Robin pursue, and eventually catch them. Poison Ivy also appears in Cast printed in full color on the outside back cover. The legend to the cast members is printed just before the book’s final endpaper; Poison Ivy is outline #10.
