“Bride of Batman!”

In "Bride of Batman!" from 1953, Batman and Robin crash-land on a deserted island during a prisoner transport, only to be ensnared by the ruthless pirate Lars Veking. With the odds stacked against them, they’re surprised to find unlikely allies in the very criminals they’re supposed to be guarding—each using their unique skills to outwit the pirate. But when the prisoners turn on their captors, Batman and Robin must escape before the tide turns again. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Dick Sprang, with inks by Charles Paris and letters by Pat Gordon, the cover by Win Mortimer captures the island’s eerie menace.

Batman and Robin are escorting a prisoner transport when their plane crashes on what appears to be a deserted island. But the island is controlled by the murderous pirate Lars Veking, and Batman and Robin find unexpected brothers-in-arms in the form of the prisoners they are escorting. One by one, the prisoners use their criminal talents to help defeat Veking. Afterwards, the prisoners turn on Batman and Robin, who are forced to flee. The prisoners steal Veking's submarine and head for the mainland, only to find the Police waiting for them. Batman and Robin were stowaways in the torpedo tubes!
