I love comics, but especially Batman. The quality is good and it's just funny. Yes, the shell smell. Stark. Uncomfortable. (-1Stern) BUT: I've 1h. placed in warm water with a lid softener. The smell has been well covered, so that it is now barely perceive. You can smell it now, after several weeks, only if you really infected dei nose into the envelope. The shipping took a while, but no reason to deduct a star for me.
