“The Blue Bowman”

In "The Blue Bowman," Batman, Robin, and Batwoman face off against the Cobra gang—only to be paralyzed by a mysterious Electronic-Ring. Just as all seems lost, a new hero swings in: a costumed Bat-Girl with a striking blue costume. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff, with inks by Charles Paris and letters by Stan Starkman, this 1961 classic introduces a bold new figure in Gotham’s fight against crime. The cover, also by Moldoff, captures the dramatic moment of the Bat-Girl’s arrival in bold, dynamic lines.
