Batmania had the tacit approval of DC Comics, after White sent a copy of his first issue to renowned fan-friendly editor Julius Schwartz, who liked it, and even gave it a plug in the pages of Batman #169. Various articles in the zine tracked the arrival, rise and fall of the TV series of 1966-68.
After Biljo White took a break in 1967 after Batmania Annual (#17), Batmania was continued by Rich Morrissey for a further six issues until 1978, before DC "withdrew its permission to use the title", whereupon it ran still more issues under the name 'Behind the Clock', an allusion to the entrance to the Batcave.
