“The Robot Cop of Gotham City”

In "The Robot Cop of Gotham City," the Penguin, newly released on parole under the condition he abandon all things avian, surprisingly goes straight—only to run an umbrella business that quickly spirals into criminal chaos. With Bob Kane’s distinctive art and Lew Sayre Schwartz’s dynamic inks, this 1952 classic delivers a delightfully absurd twist on Gotham’s rogues, all rendered with the crisp style of Win Mortimer’s cover.
