Comic Book Men Adam West

In the "Dragging Rights" episode of Comic Book Men, Walt poses the question to the Secret Stash staff over what they would choose if they either couldn't read comic books for five years or couldn't have sex for five years. It doesn't appear to be an easy question for the staff, and none of them actually gives an answer, even though Bryan Johnson points out he is disgusted by how long everyone else is weighing the question.

A seller brings a Happy Days animation cell into the Secret Stash. Because he's a big Happy Days fan, Walt negotiates to buy the animation cell for himself. After some negotiation back and forth, Walt won't go up to the $200 price the seller is asking. However, Bryan jumps in and buys the animation cell for Walt.

Batman TV series star Adam West shows up at the Secret Stash. He picks up an action figure of himself and he asks if they take credit cards. As West signs a bunch of Batman and Green Hornet crossover comics, the Secret Stash staff peppers him with questions. Ming suggests that Green Hornet's The Black Beauty was a better car than the Batmobile, but West insists the Batmobile could take any other vehicle in a race. Walt points out that Ming knows people who own replicas of both vehicles, and he suggests a race be arranged between the two vehicles.

A seller brings in a copy of The Incredible Hulk #271, which features the first appearance of Rocket Raccoon. The seller is looking for $150, but Walt offers $80. After some negotiation, Walt buys the comic for $100.

Out on the street, the Secret Stash staff and Adam West prepare to race The Black Beauty and Batmobile replica vehicles. Walt drives the Batmobile with Adam West riding shotgun, and Ming drives The Black Beauty with Mike riding shotgun. Both cars take off at a snail's pace, and Walt reveals because of the mountain of paperwork they had to sign to get the vehicles, they couldn't drive at a faster pace than 10 miles per hour. The Batmobile wins the race.
