Bat Boy: Vermonter or West Virginian?

The original World Weekly News cover from 1992 introducing Bat Boy to the world!

Since the move, I've had limited access to my collection, most of which is still in boxes. Alas, this means I've been unable to answer the question: was Bat Boy a Vermonter?

I recall at least one of the Bat Boy stories -- which I bought off the newsstands and held on to -- placing him in a cave in Vermont, somewhere outside of Rutland. However, the 'official' continuity now places Bat Boy firmly in West Virginia.

C'mon, Bat Boy experts, help me out here!
