Written by Walter Gibson and illustrated by Bob Kane and Lew Sayre Schwartz, with inks by Charles Paris and letters by Sam Rosen, this 1952 tale captures the caped crusaders in a rare spotlight—both on screen and in action. The cover, by Win Mortimer, presents a dramatic glimpse of the film’s chaotic premiere.
